I got to spend some time with my Dad today while he was getting his chemo. To say this has been a journey for him and my mom would be an understatement. I must say it’s been a joy to watch, and to see how many lives they are touching as they travel this road. What a testimony to the fact that if we embrace all that comes our way and view it as a gift from God, the way seems easier, the steps lighter, and even the trials can inexplicably result in peace. And I don’t say that lightly, for I know the burdens some face are heavier than even words can describe.

Here he is, camera around his neck, sharing with the man next to him about photography with a smile and a heart to share what he knows. THIS heart is the reason I shoot the way I do today. Thank you, Dad!

And a few details of his days lately. . .
