Good Bye, Dad

Charles Leonard Craig
September 5, 1927 - July 21, 2009

Leonard's father passed away tonight, after being very ill and hospitalized for the last week. He is now reunited with his beloved wife, Joan, who left us very suddenly in November 2007. What wonderful people they were.

Leonard is on the road in New Jersey tonight when he got the phone call. I so wish he was here and didn't have to make the trip back home alone. I am going to go snuggle with a few dogs, wishing my husband was here to snuggle with instead...

    My thoughts are with both of you. Though we "know" it's time for goodbyes, it is never easy.
