I will be away for a week. My father in-law, Almont, dear friend, mentor, passed away on the weekend. I fly off to Saskatchewan on Friday afternoon to attend the funeral, give the eulogy. There will be saddness, but there will also be a great celebration around a man that lived his life so well. May his grandchildren glean some the wisdom from how he weathered the seasons of life.
I thank all of my friends who have sent me e-mails, who have lifted my father-inlaw in prayer...we have all felt their peace and comfort.
Like I say, I will be back Friday March 30th...Just in time for this...
