The Medical Examiner returned the clothing my Dennis was wearing the day he left for Heaven. As superficial as it may seem, I love his boots. BOOTS have always been a constant in my hubby's wardrobe. Over the almost 19 years we were together, combat boots and/or hunting boots were always a staple. To me they represent service, dedication and passion. He LOVED his country and served it relentlessly as a soldier. He LOVED hunting and pursued it with enthusiasm that inspired so many others. His legacy is strong. He single handily introduced so many to the sport while always promoting ethics and safety. How ironic (seems to be a theme this year) that he died doing what he loved. He loved and appreciated nature and although many times came home empty handed from the hunt, his heart was always filled with peace from the mediation it provided.Truly created in HIS image.
A glimmer......
I miss you baby!
Glory be to God in the HIGHEST!
