Roots and wings.

If you want something very, very badly, let it go free. If it comes back to you, it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t, it was never yours to begin with.

Jess Lair

You only ever get to own one life. Whoever is in yours, consider it a gift.

Wish you were here, so we could talk

Disney World
we would have walked the streets of my hometown, at all hours of the day or night

PS. April 10, 2001 (it was Good Friday), seems like forever ago.

What if? I’ll never know. Most likely neither will you.

my Dad, Jack Noel, always loved Disney World (my adulthood hometown)

 

What if?

I’ll never know.

Most likely neither will you.

My Dad passed away long before these questions surfaced.

Long before the desire, and courage, and determination – to question everything…

… and wonder… what if?

PS. Dad, I love you. Miss you. Wish you were here, so we could talk. And go camping. With your grandson.

Begs the question doesn’t it? Will situations like these change us?
