In every prayer...

My post is dedicated to my Daddy, who passed away 11 years ago today. With the recent passing of my Mom, I've been remembering the last trip I took with them to Sedona, Arizona and the Grand Canyon. I was very lucky to have had so many wonderful times with them, getting to know them as people,and as a loving couple. I learned that they were more than just my Mom and Dad.  I miss them so.

My card uses a sentiment from "Words of Comfort" by Deedee's Digis.
