Howard, Gus, John
On my second day of upstairs closet cleaning, I discovered yet another large package of letters, photos, and cards that my father had saved. Christi and I think that he never discarded a piece of paper. The above image is of my father and his brothers, Howard and John.
John and Daddy have passed away. I am unsure of the status of Howard. He is a retired Navy veteran and was living in the Seattle, Washington area at the time that Daddy died. This image was taken in 2ooo in the driveway of Daddy's home in Memphis.
Daddy did not live to meet Thomas his grandson or Elijah and David his great-grandsons. I feel sad.
I am reminded of the verses in Ecclesiastes 3:11,12. "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live."
