I just took the above before they went to visit the patriarch. I sent him over a nice wooden window box filled with geraniums, purple spikes, a few red petunias (that I added) and a flowing purplish flower.

To Brian-you are not only a dad but also a pal to Sean. It’s fun to see and hear the two of you while you are watching a sporting event. You also act more like brothers than father and son sometimes too! I know becoming a dad all those years ago was something you were totally excited about and scared about at the same time. You didn’t really have any experience with kids like I did. I think you did a great job!

The above was made in flickrtoys.

This is on our desktop today.

Feeling blue over watching ‘Meet the Press’ and the tribute. I was ok until the end of the show when they did the photos. Tim seemed like the perfect dad to me.
