Today I walked to honor ALL six of my wonderful children AND their delightful families!!!  That would be daughter Staci, son-in-law Todd, Chance, Cashton, Cody and Cason, son Joey, son Jonathan and his son C.J., daughter Stefanie, son-in-law Rod and Ruthie,  son Jay Paul and last (ONLY chronologically!!!) son Jake (THE cadet!!!).  Yes I intend to embarrass you in front of the entire world!  This is like getting a hug and a kiss in the mall at age 14 with all your friends watching.  I love you guys and am so very proud to be your "Old Man, Pops and/or Dad".  In addition to loving you I am VERY proud of you.  I am so glad the northern tribes came south to mix up the gene pool!  Today to honor you guys (one and ALL) I walked 24.5 miles (36.290 km's) took 51,786 steps and thought of you guys EVERY step of the way.  Thank you for being MY family!!!  You guys are just about the only thing(s) that will bring a tear to these crusty old eyes.  At the end of the day (our lives) the ONLY thing(s) that we have are family, friends and experiences and with you guys I have the trifecta.  I know this is weird and the primary honorees of the walk are Jonathan, Ross, Cec and those who keep us safe, this is REALLY about you guys.  You inspire the best in me and this is what I have.  Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give to you and so far that is 2,288.1 miles (3,690.4839 km's) and 4,408,735 steps!!!...I bless you one and all!!!
