Sweet. I love this.
Mr. Strayer, I don't know if you remember us we met almost 2 years ago now. Our daughter Eva was born with a terminal brain condition and you helped us out with taking incredible pictures of us to share with our family. I'm really sorry to hear about your dad I lost my father 9 years ago and I'm know what it feels like to wish you children had met your father. Eva is going to be 2 in January, she has proven to be our little miracle. Our family has grown, we had a son this last summer. Thank you so much Mr. Strayer for giving us incredible memories!!
I think you have every right to call Dad's house a "trial"... I'll be there in a couple of weeks to help ease the burden. Thanks for all that you do! In solidarity, Mike.
