Three months ago, today I lost the dearest treasure on all the earth to me. My precious wife of 50 years married succumbed to her long, long battle with cancer.
On the occasion of our Golden Anniversary, our dear sweet children presented us with a 1974 green – ‘it had to be green’ – Volkswagen bug. A half-century before we had driven away on our honeymoon in a bug of matching color.
How many miles we’d traveled together. How many memories we shared. And a few destinations yet awaited us – thanks to this wonderful gift to recall those days – to travel together down that road again.
As I write this the bug is in the shop. It’s broken, in need of repair.
Like my heart.

Dear David:
We all live on the memories of loved ones, their strong faith and beliefs for creator of heaven and earth, family, friends, and anyone ever came into contact with them. Precious child of God Lennie was broken, now in heaven she’s been clothed with new body, live for her Glory of God. You have also been broken , yet also will be made new and repaired. As it’s with your Green Walks-wagon in shop being fixed. Our father in heaven can and will fix anything, in his time. Just seek his precious face, in all things . We’re created for his pleasure and Glory.
