Remembering

Today Jon and I go to the memorial service for his Uncle Ozzie - Dr. Osmund Wisness. He was 91 when he died - and lived a full, long life, leaving five great kids and many wonderful grandchildren and now, little great-grandson Tor. I look forward to visiting with Jon's cousins and as I walked this morning, was remembering all of our cousins and feeling grateful for inheriting this phenomenal group of relatives. Ozzie's daughter posted photos on facebook, including a great mid-laugh picture of Jon's Dad and Ozzie, with the caption the two men I admire most. I can add my dad and uncles to that category too. Here's to celebrating a family of decent, hard-working, smart, giving, and witty men - and especially today, one life well-lived.
