Our family shared
the love of autumn in the southern Ohio hills. My Mom always loved the
stirring melody and wonderful voices that sang this hallmark of autumn songs and
thus, it wraps my heart with nostalgic memories.
This page was dedicated in 2001 to
my Dad, who always marveled at autumn's magnificent display as
well, and was then witnessing it for the first
time, after 60 years, without my Mother. I had
the blessing of returning home in October 2004 and taking him to
his beloved county fair. He went to be with the Lord 5 days after I left.
Autumn's show has become bittersweet for me, as I now
take in it's beauty without both my parents. I am
reminded with every vibrant leaf I see, of all the
seasons we shared. And as each leaf's bond is severed
and it flutters to the ground, I am encouraged that though the grass
withers, and the flowers fade, the Word of our
God abides forever. I miss you, Mom and Dad.
