father's day

we were at mart's shanty for the traditional father's day picnic today.

caleb and i were sitting across from mart and vera.  and caleb asked me, is that a grandpa?  he was looking at mart.  i didn't know what to tell him.  he remembers.  caleb remembers.  at three years of age, not even 2 yet when daddy died, caleb remembers.

and then i stopped at the grave on my way home.  and sat there for awhile.
