My husband is not only a talented photographer, but he's a talented orator. I first noticed when he was a teaching assistant in a class I took in 1973. For more than a decade he was a college instructor (a favorite of the students). He's the person everyone turns to for celebrations and eulogies. And his words aren't lost on prepared speeches. His prose to family would be poetry to many.
In a tearful farewell before Greg's move to Minnesota in 2010, Bob gave him a knife and a flashlight. The flashlight, he said, was to "find his way home." Here they are, together at home, in 2011.
And quoting the words from the song by Sugarland: "I will hold you in my arms until everying's alright. I will shine the light."
