GREAT DAYS OF YORE My father was a plumber and more. He is gone now with much forlorn. I miss his advice and lore. A leak sparked memory of those days of yore. Advice I seek to fix my aching heart.

We go on. It is hard. I don’t know that are hearts can be fixed but our eyes can be fixed on the Lord.
