Interesting how much certain people live in the past and keep reliving it. Not my family. We celebrated my daughter's birthday today. She brought along some photo albums from family canoe trips that included Nate. She was closest to Nate and probably took it the hardest of all. However, when she saw thse old pictures of Nate, she was OK with them. Like the rest of us, she has moved on.

We've been using them at church for about 3 years since then, and they still sound and smell good. |
