A CELEBRATION FOR THE AGES.

Fall has begun in the Northeast. As the leaves change so do the attitudes. The craving for hot soup on a weekend afternoon with football on in the background. Or maybe a hike on one of the endless leaf covered trails. The reds, yellows, oranges mixed in with a little green is truly a joy to see and icing on the cake for any trip back to the good ol' O-H.....I-O!
I wonderful thing was about to happen. A man with so much drive and his beautiful bride to be. A flight across the continental U.S. was a small price to pay for the seat I had. In the end, many hugs, renewed love for family, those families coming together to make a boy and a girls day as memorable as possible, and "the kiss" to seal the deal. Above, a brother, who has matured above all expectation. A world away fighting for his country, David, displayed his love and appreciation for his family and showed off that wonderful smile as well.
