By His Side
April 21

Baptist Hospital

Submitted to the April "Ground I Walk On" Challenge.

More of a "treatment" than I usually apply. Out of
respect for Dad, I wanted to mask most of him while
allowing friends and family a glimpse of him. Dad
would not want people to see him right now (he is
proud and really would not want friends to see him
in this state). We have put restrictions on visits
in the Care Unit also in an effort to honor this.



...Also added today of a little sunshine in my life:
