The family had ordered and were using the restroom, stretching their legs, and merely waiting to head down the road. *Since I never introduced myself, nor did they to me, I’ll jus...

The Lord called on Hi angels, on a cold winter day, "His time has come; there is no reason for delay." With the whisper of their wings, 'twas his journey's end; While it was heaven's gain – we all lost a friend. His pain is gone; he's been set free; He grins and laughs now, like you and me.
