Elvis sings!

Today was such a special day! We had all 39 members of the family (just missing 1 - we miss you Marvin!) in mom and dad's small house. Rob came from Cali and Jordan came from Washington. One of Dad's best friends, Shane, who does Elvis impersonations, came to visit. Up to this point, dad hadn't been very responsive. He'd look at you, but wouldn't talk. You have to understand, Dad LOVED Elvis! (That's why he got along so well with Shane). When Shane started playing his guitar, dad starting "singing" along. He had a tear in his eye, a smile on his face and he was moving his arm to the beat. Shane sang 3 or 4 songs. What a special, special time! It made dad so very happy and was such a miracle for us to witness!
