April 9th

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of my dad's death
And the the 78th anniversary of his birth.
Richard Christian Grant Helem, April 9, 1933 - April 9, 1988
Lover of song, watcher of birds, counter of numbers.
Loved and missed.

I remember that photo like it was yesterday. Mary took it.
It's 7:53 Sunday morning. Time for the Grand March and breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe. Don't be late!
