Description
What is a Father? A mentor. A guide. A rock to steady our faltering footsteps. A fishing buddy. A baseball coach. A companion to give us strength. A shoulder to cry on. A teacher. A light to show the way.
This is dedicated to two wonderful men; my dad, Carl Shelley, and my father-in-law Bob Traskowsky. We miss you both.
For those who are still fortunate to be able to spend time with him, spend as much as possible.
--------------------
It seems sometimes that just as you think you can take a breath, real life throws another wrench into the gearbox.... We found out today that a dear friend - Jo considered her a 'second mom' passed away from a heart attack this weekend. We lived next door to them back in my high-school days, and her youngest son, Andy is like a brother to Jolene. It hit her pretty hard.
The services will be next weekend. In the meantime I'll be off and on sporadically.
Thank you for dropping by and for all your support over the years. I **hope** to be back full-time soon.

I love these pictures! Seeing you and Jo as youngsters is fun, and I love the picture of your beautiful lady with her dad. Both are terrific shots. A wonderful tribute to father's day. I sent a note to Jo on her email, btw. Thanks for the news of Andy's mom. :(

So very well done Rod! Not only is this artful, blending old and new pictures, but you made me think back to my dad's influences on my life. Very inspiring. How fortunate we (you, Jo and me) were to have good fathers...there are many who have not been so fortunate.
