Today I attended the memorial service of one of my student’s parents.  Her father died in a plane crash several days ago.  He was a famous pilot.  I never met him, unfortunately.  But if his children are anything like him, he had an amazing spirit. I think the most fascinating thing that was said of him today was that he thought of “being a dad as part of the adventure in life.” He was an adrenaline junkie, but he was also a family man.  Go give YOUR dad another hug today.  You still have him.  Be grateful for him in your life.  Anyhow, this song from Jimi Hendrix is for my student, Melissa, her dad Mike and their entire family.  Now, her dad is resting on God’s wings on his way to the next place.  Full throttle Mike!
