Happy Birthday Helmut!

Today is my father-in-law's, Helmut Fischer's, birthday. I miss him.

This picture was taken on a trip we took with Rob's parents 2 months before Caydin passed away. Caydin and his Papa were very close, as were Isaac and Papa. All the kids loved him, and he was so patient good with them; taking them on little walks outside, watching them play in the sandbox, and letting them find his "teeth" (partial dentures) in his front pocket, to name just a few things they did together!

These last two pictures were taken just a few weeks before Helmut passed away. We had gone on a drive up to Silver Lake with Rob's parents and walked around with them. It was a peaceful and enjoyable day!

I miss him, and I know all his family miss him and his gentle, kind way of keeping things in perspective! Happy Birthday Helmut, we love and miss you!
