Day 177

This afternoon I dropped Jackson off for an overnight intensive soccer camp!  He was beyond excited! There are five boys who are sharing a suite!  They all live in our neighborhood!

I know these boys are creating memories that will last a lifetime!  Hopefully they will learn a little soccer as well!

Day 174

Alone I Will Not Be

"My comfort will come from the sea. 

The stillness of calm waves will Gently drift by
I will be as one with the sea. 
When the sun sets on the ocean blue, remember me as I will always remember you.

As the sun rises…go live life as full as can be 

Apart…you and me…but be at peace for I am free."

~ Capt. Chad Theesfeld

It was one of the highest honors of my life to participate in and photograph this sacred ceremony.
