My father-in-law, Ron Whyte, passed this morning, after a brief illness.
*****
I could read you a list
of his accomplishments
we would be here
for some time
all the great
good things he did
in service to the world
but today, all I want
to tell you is this
he was loved
he was loved
he was loved.

(Photos from a little patio at the hospital; just a small, functional space, but it was good to have access to fresh air. Ron loved going for long walks, and loved gardening. He would have appreciated the patio as much as I did.)
