yesterday mark turned forty .... as i pondered the day, i reviewed the pics that i had taken, looking for inspiration. lately i've been drawn to my family heritage, constantly being reminded of our rich past. talking to mark's dad phil, i reminded him of what a great job he and mark's mom sally have done in raising their children. phil said "in spite of us, our children seem to turn out ok". knowing phil as i do, i knew that he was merely expressing what all of us think and feel at times, we know how many times we have failed our children, and yet they seem to over come. phil and sally ... enjoy your children ... you've done well ... you've passed on what your parents passed on from their parents ... i've been observing mark & kristyn as they parent spencer and conner ... our heritage is secure.
