Thanksgiving Day 2010

In the late morning of this cold Thanksgiving Day,  I pulled out Dad's "Going Upstream"  and paged through the parts where he talked about coming to Portland his early years.  What a great gift these pages are.  As I think about Archer and Adam,  and all the little ones coming along I am so glad that they will 'hear' Gompa's voice and have some sense of who he was.  Three years today and I miss him but I am also at peace.
