Jan’s Mother Celina LaPierre Jutras, Lorraine Dziedzic Grant (James’ Godmother), Janet, Father Vincent Keane, Bill and John at Lorraine’s apartment in Arlington VA, January 4, 1975

For some reason the photo cube that sits on our kitchen desk caught my eye this morning as I was checking email. I see it every day, but today the photo to the right was pointed my direction and it brought back a flood of memories of the fall of 1974 & early 1975 - particularly January 4, 1975. Good memories. Two young people, newly met, in love and electing to cast their lots in life together and form a new family - or should I say 3 young people as John was part of it from the relationship’s earliest beginning. We didn’t know where our journey would take us, but we had hopes and faith that it would be an interesting journey full of love.

Lots of water has passed under our bridge in the 43 years and 8 months since, the memories are still good, the journey is still full of love and is still interesting.

We love you.

Dad
