A Special Day for a Special Man by bkbinthecity

A Special Day for a Special Man

Today we took Melody's parents to see a long time family friend. Mr. Stam, in the middle, turned 80 today. Melody's Dad has known him since they were both young men in Holland. We took him some flowers and had a very nice visit. He is in the early stages of Alzheimer's so we really do enjoy our visits with him
How cool is that, looks good for 80
