Legacy

Happy Belated

April 3, 2018 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Hey man,   Sorry I didn’t write you sooner.  As fate would have it, your birthday was last Wednesday, and this just happens to be the best forum for me to do this, albeit only on Tuesdays.  Sue me. Anyway, this is the third year in a row that I’ve given you a birthday letter.  Last year, it was about cake and bacon beer (of which I did NOT…

Don’t Take The Boy

November 6, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

Last Monday was just an average day. I had some running around to do and appointments to attend. A pre Vegas hair colour, a dentist appointment… that sort of thing. Nothing too crazy or anxiety inducing, and the panic I tend to experience on the daily remained at a reasonable low for the most part. I ended the day by attending a relaxing yoga…

Legacy of a Tree

June 14, 2016 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

The American Chestnut is a large, stately, useful tree.  At one time, over a quarter of the eastern American woods were populated by this tree.  The wood is rot resistant, the nuts are delicious, and even the oils in its bark has medicinal properties. Nobody wanted to see the Chestnut go away, and it didn’t want to die off.  Over eons it…

Ride Along

October 27, 2015 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

Two people, a man and a woman, sat down to have a drink with a group of mostly strangers.  At the time, the two of them were strangers to each other.  After a brief introduction, and some small talk, that group of strangers, and those two people, became friends.   The evening was spent talking, laughing, and sharing stories.  Humorous anecdotes…

A New Chapter Begins

October 20, 2015 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I’m going to get straight to the point.  Tomorrow, I am boarding a plane, flying to Texas, packing Sarah’s possessions, and driving her back north to Ohio.  I am incredibly excited, anxious, and happy about this.   But, I’m a widower.  I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter who has lost her mother.  I miss my wife, and I want nothing…
