Peaceful Thought


This gentleman is my Uncle Dave's brother.  I have had the good fortune to spend a bit of time with him over the years.  Simple conversation, and admiring his positive demeanor, even in the face of his blindness.  When I was first introduced to him many years ago, he took my hands and held them for a moment.  After the pause, he told me with a smile how I have my grandfather's hands, and proceeded to share some memories.  My grandfather was an important person in my life - that moment was one I will not forget.
