Remember the "Mommy Daddy Path" at the Homestead. Somehow, it doesn't seem that long ago that I was standing there. Well, I'm going to Michigna, Wilbur, and I have that same feeling as when I stood on the path calling for both of you. I'll sure miss you, but I know that you'll be there in spirit, as it was our special place.
Love,
Piggly
