I can't say we were friends, we met while I was dating his Beautiful daughter Nita. He was easy to talk to and protective of his daughter as all fathers are. Her happiness was important to him he told me. Once in a conversation in the back yard I mentioned my desire to fly ultra-light planes and in a small way Don touched my life with 5 words. "Why aren't you doing it"  The way he said it stuck. It wasn't a challenge.  It was a honest question.  It was a long tme before I flew in a Ultra.  But whenever I thought of flying I thought of what he said.  You never know who or what we change by being here. God has a purpose for all of us Thanks Don for being in my life.    

My mom told us of this dream dad had the morning of his accident.

Dad woke up Tuesday morning with a smile on his face. He had a dream that he was running. No particular place just running and running. He said it felt so good and the dream brought him a lot of pleasure.

God is so gracious and merciful. This was an amazing dream and rather prophetic. It was God's way of reasuring us that Dad is free and enjoying his new body in heaven. Free to run and leap with joy.
