I'm so sorry you are without him.<BR/><BR/>Amy<BR/>(I just had to add that my word verification below is "fuctology". Would you like to come up with a definition for that one?)Mama Nirvanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18046914714613265452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863919317976743153.post-65724332068307408582008-12-22T09:27:00.000-08:002008-12-22T09:27:00.000-08:00Elissa:<BR/>Is it selfish of me to say that I truly hope you and I get to meet up one of these days? I lived in Denver for the blizzard of '83 too, and remember it well (I could probably dig a few pics out of my parents' albums, even). I have pics of my Dad, stoic, staring out into the vistas, much like yours. Even when my Dad skied his posture was much like this--we joked that he looked a bit like an old-timey butler on skis.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing this and for the memories. :)janahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06538362162139679868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863919317976743153.post-38030114276404637132008-12-22T07:55:00.000-08:002008-12-22T07:55:00.000-08:00I really enjoyed this post.
