This post has been sitting in my draft folder since August but I did not have the courage to post it but since Veteran's day is coming up, I am now publishing it. After my father-in-law died in March, we lost another beloved veteran in our family.
We might not be related by blood but he certainly was a huge part of my little family. Don and his wife Ruth were there for us especially my kids ever since we bought our first home in Park Avenue. Don died of brain cancer. He was diagnosed earlier this year and passed away in August. He was a great man, he was like a true grandpa to my kids and a father to me. We loved him dearly. He was a Vietnam veteran
The Fancher's have always been there celebrating especial events and milestones of our kids. Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays, and even on ordinary days, they were always around. He was our constant companion in our regular walks during the summer. It was a huge shocked to us because he was the most active guy we knew around the neighborhood. A very social man who was a friend to everybody.

We had so many great memories with him and his wife. There are two families that we are so close with when we still live in Park Avenue, we were always together every time, my kids have events or special occasion. He taught my kids so many things like doing handstand, climbing up on their shed roof, eating edible grass, biking, and so on and so forth. I can write a book if I list everything but yes, he will be surely missed.
The song below is dedicated to all the men and women in uniform who are currently serving and for all of those who sacrificed a lot to serve our country.
This post is dedicated to all the veterans, my husband included, his late Dad and Uncle (WW2 veterans), our late neighbor Don, and to all who served. Thank you for your services and your sacrifices.
