Personal Stuff

I haven't read much by Joshua Micah Marshall over the years, but I'm glad Hugh Hewitt linked today to JMM's warm tribute to his father. The piece elicited lots of emotion in me, a little over a year after I got a similar phone call about my mother. As much as anything, it was a sense of gratitude that our kids were fortunate enough to get to know and enjoy all four of their grandparents, and vice versa. And like Marshall, I didn't tell my Dad I loved him nearly often enough.
