Dad was sleeping when I called, so Rebecca, the new helping hand, described this morning's scene...
Da attended the Amherst Island Memorial Day event today, looking fantastic in his uniform. He was the only man there in uniform. With the help of several little children, Dad carried a wreath and laid it in place. I can just imagine. I thanked Rebecca for painting that picture in my mind. How I wish I could have been there. We live too far apart. Most of us are here in Vancouver, with only Dad and Peggie on Amherst. So it is. That's Dad with cousin Patrick Burke, the Dad with brother Brian Burke, and Peggie with me. Love those selfies. I couldn't find a shot of Dad in his uniform, though I know I've seen a good one, somewhere.

Happy Fathers Day to a Wonderful Dad!
Yes. Thanks for the rich years of love, laughter and inspiration! Many people join with me here to thank you for your many valuable contributions to this world of ours; your light, your love and your prevailing good humour through many trials not the least. We love you. We cherish you and everything "Stanley Burke."
Summer’s First Morning Awakens
A play of words
A play of light
The longest day
The shortest night
Let the madness of the world fall away today
and you and I dance around the sun
Summer’s first morning awakens
like a precious child
a daisy ring
a four-leaf clover of hope
the full familiar fragrance
that I yearn for has arrived
We stand balanced for a moment
at our height our peak
in the sweet stillness of truth
beyond the pendulum of light and dark
H Burke June 21 2014/15
