Speaking of long-suffering...

My brother already posted a shout out to my Dad for the publication of his book he's been researching and writing for years. Please wander over to his blog to read the news. I want to take a piece of the blogosphere to send a shout out to my Mom as well. You know the saying, Behind every great man there is a great woman? Mom has supported Dad all these years as he worked on this labor of love. She assisted with photography and postponed plans indefinitely so Dad could spend time in his office working. I'm very proud of both of them. I'm happy to see this goal accomplished, as so often in my family we tend to be big dreamers but not necessarily big dream fulfillers. I, too, am anxious to get my copy!
