• Like Father–Like Us?

  With Father’s Day just passed, it’s interesting to recognize how people view it. I used to ask Mom if she had gotten Dad a gift to honor his day. Her response, “No, he’s not my father.” I have a good friend whose dad is unresponsive and indifferent. Celebrating him makes no sense because he doesn’t…

• I Hear Nothing

  The front door opened, and I heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. “Who’s here?” No answer. Not an opportunity for panic; we have grands that live close, and they often stop by and let themselves in. Inevitably, the one that doesn’t answer is Teagan.

• Identifying The Apple

  Every person alive has quirks. With six children, I’ve seen my share of quirky behavior. Each child had their own brand of unique conduct. Many times it made me smile; sometimes it was annoying.

• It’s A Doggone Loss

  Companionship is one of our highest values as people; knowing we’re not alone, that there’s a warm and listening presence that is with us, for us, no matter what. So often that companion is a faithful dog. My daughter and son-in-law just lost their beloved Foster, an amazing Australian Shepherd who loved well and faithfully.…
