I know I've been very lax in my blogging, and this one won't be a long one or full of pictures. I just wanted to let family and friends know that my father, Waide Hamner, passed away last night. He was 81-years-old, and had survived much during his lifetime -- polio, tuberculosis, and several forms of cancer. The last few years he has been battling post-polio syndrome, another cancer, and Alzheimer's. The Lord, in his mercy, has called him home, and he no longer has to suffer physically. We all agree that it is a blessing, but he will be so greatly missed. Brent, Rachel, Jett, and I got to spend some time with him a couple of weeks ago. He wanted to hold "the little guy" and the picture is of him holding Jett on August 17th. Good-bye, Dad; I love you.
