This morning Karen’s Dad left us to make the journey to his eternal reward. Our family was all gathered around when he made his peaceful transition. We dressed him for the journey in his western best, including his boots, then shrouded this World War II Navy Air Corps Veteran in the American Flag. Tomorrow is his 91st Birthday so as he left the house we all gathered to sing Happy Birthday!
On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Thank you for this and next post! It was a sad time but made easier with all the loving support of family and friends.
So much for which to be grateful!
So sorry to read about your dad’s death. We know how difficult it is to adjust to life without your loved one. He will be missed. Try to remember all the wonderful times you had together and cherish each memory with a smile. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. May God grant all your family peace.
Love & Hugs,
Lynn and Art
