“The measure of life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.”
~~Corrie Ten Boom
Dekar had a full life. He gave his all to us and we gave our all to him. He gave us each an opportunity to put aside petty arguments that result in nothing, and focus on the importance of every moment we are given.
Today, November 27, 2008, is Thanksgiving and it is also Dekar Day. He would have been five months old. When Rachel and I went shopping for our Thanksgiving meal, we took extra time to pick out ice cream for our celebration of the life he gave us. We chose strawberry. I remember many times eating banana splits which included fresh strawberries.

Thought of you at Old Country Buffet and made sure I ate some ice cream. Such a bitter sweet day you must have had. I am glad you are finding the joy in that little bundle.
