Happy 19th Birthday, Emma!

I'm wishing my granddaughter, Emma, who lives in Fredericksburg, VA, a very Happy 19th Birthday today. This is a cute picture of her when she was a baby, and now, a year later, after graduating, she will be spending her college fall semester in Italy. Wishing her the best of luck, and I love her so much.

Happy "Heavenly" Birthday, Dad

Wishing my Dad, Marion Edward Love, Sr., a very Happy "Heavenly" Birthday today at 110.  This is the last picture taken with my Dad.  In a week, he was gone.  While crossing the Wisconsin bridge, he had a massive heart attack and hit the bridge abutment.  The strangest thing about this is that I live on Wisconsin Ave., and have to cross the bridge often.  The pain never goes away. I love and miss you so much, Dad.
