Mary Virginia, a Father's Story

Photographs, notebooks of leaves, and memories of
childhood wonder are poignant reminders of Mary's
needless encouragement, "Faster, daddy, faster."

Life moves much faster than we think, happy times
pass quickly. It's not a substitute for the passage of
life, but satisfying to know that Mary and I enjoyed
her early years as the good old days worth
remembering in a little book. All the days were
important and there will continue to be good days
but none will be more engaging for Mary and me
than those that brought her initial start in life.
