A couple of weeks ago, we went to a funeral for a family member in Archer, ID. Jamie was a vibrant, hard working young man who worked in construction for a steel company. He feel 27 feet to his death and left behind a young family and many friends. That's the sad part.
Jamie donated three of his organs so that someone else might live or have a better quality of life. Even though the funeral was sad, Jamie left a good legacy.
After the funeral, we went to visit our grandkids who live in Archer. I think they were getting ready to "go into town" as they say on the farm, but the patiently delayed their trip to visit with us. It was a happy visit. We met Otter, Cody's new puppy. The kids talked to us aout their latest adventure in trapping and were all smiles. While visiting, Shelly rocked Otter to sleep. What a total mother she is!!!
On the way home, I thought, what a contrast we've had today. We started our day with sadness, but went to total happiness within just a few minutes. That house radiates sunshine and it warmed us, in spite of the snow and cold, for the rest of the day.
