I was meaning to remember the sailor who stole my mother's heart. But Memorial day found us at the Cda Casino...again. Today We were re-arranging the "livestock" around. Trying to get a better fit for the boxes that line the shelves of our garage. The boxes that are lined up like presents that time forgot. Before I knew it I had ripped one carefully open, cause I knew it was all about you. Remembrance flooded through me like a shot of whiskey..instantly hot & intense. Like a bolt of lightning. I love this picture of you lost in time. It is perfect my father full of grace. This is when you were just starting your voyage out to sea. Holding hands with the Navy...being all you could be. Howard Franklin ______ I salute you for the price you paid. But more than that- I love you ...Thanks to the greatest dad.
