a sad and sentimental anniversary

This past Friday October 27th was the sixth anniversary of my father’s passing. As the years have gone by I find myself mourning less. That does not mean the sadness has passed - hardly. Rather than mourn I have tried to find ways to honor the memory of my father.
One of my father’s favorite activities was going over to Valley Forge National Park (a couple miles from my home) to shoot a roll or two of photos. When my family was going through my father’s old photos I think we found about two dozen pictures of the Memorial Arch taken over the span of at least 30 years.
Today, after breakfast at the G-Lodge, Jennie and i drove through the park and I snapped a few shots in honor of my dad.
