But, Winter Lingers...

Three days after the New Spring in our family began with the birth of my nephew, Shane; my father passed away after a long battle with metastatic prostate cancer. I spoke with him a few days prior to his death and he was entirely focused on hanging on until Shane was born, then he said "He was done with this Bullshit". He kept his promise, and departed knowing the family line continues and will do so long after he's gone.
