Calvin,
today you are in good company.
At 90,
Marc Chagall exhibited at the Louvre,
Captain Kirk has finally gone
where no one has gone before,
well almost,
and Clint Eastwood is making his day,
every day.
You are a trailblazer,
blazing trails of vitality, creativity, activity, and work,
and we are right behind you.
With faith, family, and friends
to sustain you,
you keep going and going and going,
but are never too busy to say hello,
lend a helping hand,
or brighten up our day,
especially in this darkest of winters.
We wish you all the best,
and may God
bless you and protect you,
deal kindly and graciously with you,
bestow his favour upon you
and grant you peace.
(Numbers 6:24-26)

My Dad mustered out in 1945 after service in the Eurpean theater. He later became a history teacher. I remember in his class he would have quotations from history posted on the walls of his class. One that sticks in my memory was “May the pens of diplomats not undo what we have won by the sword”. I cannot remember the source of the quote.
The last time I saw my Dad was in 2003 when I moved to NB. I sat beside him in a nursuring home in Ontario and read to him from a Legion magazine an article about a dear friend of his who had died in 1944 in France.
He wept.
Thank you Larry for keeping their memories alive.
Larry, I love this one and found it encouraging. The fact that you voiced it also made it interesting for me :0)
