Celebrating my Papa's 94th

 



My two favorite Norms. Can't believe my happy and oh so funny papa is 94! His sense of humor must have been passed on to me cuz he always makes me laugh. Kinda funny I managed to marry someone with his name and his sense of humor. Love these two guys!

From the Mel in the NorMel House, celebrate every day with all your loved ones; we never know how many we have left

I do know what it feels like to bear a child, hold that child in your hands and then have to lay that child in the ground. And although I can't say or do anything to take away the incredible hurt that causes I can try provide something soft and beautiful to la
