A Son's Love, and a Father's Day contest

Although I'm not a golfer, my Dad plays, and my brother plays.....and many of my Dad's brothers and nephews play golf.

My father's nephew, Bill, was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

 His son,Eric, is a golfer who got his love of the game from his Dad, and has entered this contest on the Golf Channel in tribute and honor of his father.

The Golf Channel-Father's Day-The Contest

You can see Eric's Father's Day story      HERE

Eric has written a moving and heartfelt tribute to his Dad. While the 5 finalists in the contest won't be announced until June 9th (and voting won't start until the 5 finalists are announced) you can leave comments on Eric's story.

So,please, won't you take a moment to stop by  Eric's story , and perhaps leave a comment? and please spread the word to your friends and family.

Keeping our fingers crossed that Eric and his Dad,Bill, become finalists.

And keeping them all in our prayers daily.

It's been many years since I've seen my 'Ohio cousins'.....but my main memory of Eric's Dad, Bill, is his smile.

With much love to Eric, Bill, and all the family, from your 'Virginia cousin'.

Oh, I got chills, literally, reading this.  I'm glad that they have had this chance to bond over golf, anyway.

How wonderful Eric has this opportunity to honor his Dad now.

All to often, we don't realize how much our parents have influenced our lives until they are no longer with us.

My prayers are with his Dad, Eric and your entire family during this time.
