Actually this is the view from my dad’s window. Technically it is my window now, though it will never feel that way. My dad unexpectedly passed away on April 11. It has been devastating. When I was there this past weekend, it felt like the spring did not want to come because it knew my dad was not there to fish on the lake or work in his garden. As you can see from the picture, there is still ice on the lake.

My dad was only 70, and is gone far too soon. Here is a link to his obituary.
