This was beautiful, and such a pleasure to read. The way you described the connection with your father based off the momento of a resurfaced photograph, that you had no idea existed. I also have a very close bond with my own father and now that he is older in age I feel like I am constantly looking, and sometimes even more so just waiting for a reminder or a hint of a place or situation that once was, that brought everything together, without me, somewhere, like you were made aware of here. Something to make you wonder about but can also fill your heart and soul.

I feel like that alone is a journey that cannot always be seeked out but only comes to you when it should. Sometimes without the help of time and maybe even vanquishing time altogether like a photograph can do, as you had mentioned. It seems only in the most unexpected moments is it given to us weather we are ready or not. At times I like to believe that its the mystery that can help guide us, even though it may seem scary at times. But I know my own shortcomings are in the moment so I rarely dwell in them, for I know there is something waiting for myself and the rest of us, right around the next corner. Maybe that's why we stay and fight.

I wish all things well to you and your family. And I look forward to what you have in store for the Fam Club!

Thank you, Kevin.
