Thinking of Tom

My friend Andy lost his dad, Tom, last week. Andy was a great support to me when my own father died. My prayers are with this entire family.

Tom was someone who embodied one of my life goals, to leave things better than when you found them. I was thinking of him as I worked out in the yard this weekend. We have some plants that have come back from last year, some new ones that are going strong, even some from Ellen's yard that we transplanted. It always feels overwhelming but it was nice to look around and see the progress.

And to think of Tom, a life well lived. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/idahostatesman/obituary.aspx?n=thomas-dale-bettger&pid=127650089
