The Hermit Crab is flying back to Florida with Mrs. Crab, probably to be there when my father dies. I was there last month, and was at first reluctant to return as Dad's health decays and the end approaches. However, this week I was looking at my WWJQAD? poster, and I realized that I had to go back. I am my father's oldest surviving son and his namesake. My place is there, with Mom and Dad. My hero JQA always did his best to do his duty, and my father always has as well.
Sometimes we all need to remember that the people in our own lives come first, in front of BO, Nazi Pelosi, Sarah Palin, etc. This just isn't the reminder I would have chosen for myself...
