Since Dad became ill, I've learned of many stories from his Lake Village and
Hendrix days. Some I had heard bits and pieces of before and others I had never
heard of. Some of these stories I wish I would have known of while I was
younger, so I could have reminded him of them when I was in trouble (which of
course hardly EVER happened!). Anyway..... Dad received a card in the mail
yesterday. I'm not sure if the author of this card reads the blog or not, but if
you do, please know we all got a good laugh.... Especially Dad! It involved some
boys and the Mississippi River/Greenville bridge back during Dad's Lake Village
days. It does us so good to see Dad happy and reminiscing like he did today
after reading the card. He had the biggest smile on his face! =) He also
reminded me not to believe everything I'm told.... Especially stories from
Wilson Bynam! Ha! Although his stories are the best!!!!!
I'm attaching a
video of Dad getting down with his air guitar. Mr Bill Johnston brought him some
CDs on Friday and he has really enjoyed them! One of the therapists said he
passed his room and saw him "strumming his guitar" and had to stop and join him
for a second! Lol
Caroline graduates from Ole Miss this weekend. This is such a happy time as well
as sad for our family. We never would have dreamed Dad wouldn't be there to see
her walk across that stage. If you know Dad, you know his love for Oxford and
Ole Miss. I am staying behind as well to check in on dad and traveling long
distances is no fun when you are 8 months preggo. My Aunt Terri is going with
Mom and they are heading out Friday morning.
I'll end with a picture of the
little girl that keeps our world turning. I honestly don't know that any of us
could have made it through this without her. She is a light for all of us and
definitely keeps us going.

The stories of Jack in his LV and Greenville bridge are legendary! Some of us are glad we weren't with him in those days. We doubt we'd have gotten out of that alive! Congratulations to Caroline, what a big accomplishment! Very glad you have Gracie around. Very little warms the heart of a grand-dad like a granddaughter!
Tell Dicey to find the "It all started at ray's book that all the wives made for us . Instead of them letting us tell the old stories they would just say turn to page what ever number the story was on. What a time we had. Hope and prayers are with you. Tell Caroline congratulations on her accomplishments and we all are so proud of her. Love Sam
