Josh, only reading this right now, in the middle of our work day. I was so moved after reading it that I stopped doing whatever other thing I was doing.. and read it aloud to my family. They are all equally moved. My younger can't appreciate the emotion, but understands when the family is listening to something with rapt attention. My older had a few questions and I tried the answer them the best I could.

I guess we all have a Randy somewhere that we wish we could be around, but can't anymore... such is life.

Beautifully written and I am surprised that you tracked down those old paper copy photographs... they are wonderful.

Many thanks for sharing. Due to this post, our monotonous afternoon became slightly different.
