What a beautiful look-back: raw, real, empowering, endearing, painful, triumphant and loss --- all the elements of someone who loved and was loved...It's such a unique About Me - loved the "marched on" spread throughout...
You're a magnificent writer and teacher...thanks for teaching us how to write, and thanks for teaching us to never lose hope.
Keep marching sir -- what a beautiful life!
Love your buddies - LOL - adorable!
