21 Years

Has it really been that long? I still wish Dad were here to bounce ideas off of and get his opinion on certain things in life. He died too young, that is for sure.  April 27th, 1991 was the day dad was finishing up pruning some of the orchard and mowing. He came in to the house to take a rest and never got back up. We think he died peacefully, after a hard day's work. The apple trees blossomed for his funeral and mom used those budding branches instead of fussy flowers; that would have pleased dad.
