First missed birthday

Happy Birthday Joe!  You would have been 52 last Wednesday.  I shed some tears for you that morning and then the sky opened up and rained for 24-hours along the Nooksack River.  You would have loved the place where Beth and I camped near the river, like you enjoyed the river you and Danielle checked out in this photo from 2008.  I wish you two could have met.
