Daddy, 2009


I took this picture in March of 2009, about six weeks before my father's death. He had terminal duodenal cancer, caught far too late for treatment to have helped. He opted to NOT take chemotherapy or radiation treatments, preferring to have his wits and his energy and his love of life. We were celebrating the birthday of his youngest grandson, up in Beaufort.
I miss him.

fb flashback from April 3, 2011 (I was busy!!!):
"Almost time to get SUAF'd y'all!!! April 17th starts it!"
- that was about a now-defunct annual event at the now-defunct Muse Arts Warehouse.
Those were good times there!!!
