Picture of my Pop

This is a picture of my dad sailing (I took the picture) one summer day, well, several years ago, now. It was a much healthier time for him...before the broken back, the heart attack, the surgery, the strokes, et al. It's the way I remember him. In my heart, he never changed from this age or stage. It's the way he came back to me on that last Friday night when he said his good bye to me. This picture was the one used on his memorial card for his funeral service, too.
