My father was a booming presence in my life. He was handsome, engaging, and hardworking.  In his dedication to us, he instilled the values of family, discipline, and earnings.  He believed in the goodness of people and in what our country could be.  In my mind, he wears a royal crown.

An ode to my mother, a woman who exemplified grace. She was the most stylish, composed lady. The only physical thing I have left of her is an emerald ring she gave me before she passed. Wear your love, and wear it well.

It’s time to reflect on the beauty of gathering with friends and family, even in difficult times.  The morning is quiet, the kids are still asleep, and life has little movement.  So peaceful.
