Friends,

From June 28, 1991 until November 9, 2008, I was a man deeply and richly blessed beyond measure.

I am forever grateful for that.

Now it is time to mourn all that's been lost and destroyed since.

"All I can do is turn back to you
And wave with one hand on my heart
All that I know is it's so hard to go..."

Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Gardener

"My soul, be satisfied with flowers,
With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
Cyrano deBergerac
