In the spirit of my Dad's zest for life and playfulness, I've continued the tradition of decorating the house for the holidays. Tim always enjoyed the light shows -- some of which remain year-round.

I really appreciate all the cards, emails, texts and calls over the past few days. I'm just getting used to not talking with Dad every morning and evening. But, I think Dad's independence and continued enjoyment of life has . . .

Dad . . .
