Spreading The Word About Family Sundays.com
Columbus recently hosted the first two rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, which provided a good opportunity to meet people from southern California, Illinois and Tennessee. I briefly shared my web site address and asked these nice people to visit the web site sometime soon. The UT alumni party at the Frog Bear & Bar was wonderful, too.
I utilized the same approach during a recent visit to River Street in the historic riverfront district of Savannah, Georgia and during a related stay in nearby Beaufort, South Carolina. As I met with these wonderful people, good friend and business associate Anthony Huey of Reputation Management Associates, Inc. in Columbus passed along the www.familysundays.com web site name during training seminars he conducted in other parts of the country.
The initial effort here is simply to spread the word about the web site, encourage as many people as possible to visit, and perhaps share some personal stories as part of my research on Family Sunday remembrances. --- JW

Aging Parents Still Wonderful Folks
As a Baby Boomer, the subject of aging parents ranks as a very high area of concern among many. I feel blessed in that my mother Katie will celebrate her 78th birthday this month and my father Bill will celebrate his 82nd birthday in July.
I recently opened and reviewed some of the contents of what might best be described as a time capsule of sorts. It was a box of old letters and photographs from my college years in the late 1970s. Among those contents saved were many letters sent to me then by my mother as well as my father. As I read several of these written by each parent 30 years ago, I again was reminded of the great love they have always had for their only son.
Their health is gradually fading and they remain somewhat active. My mother often can not remember what a person had said a moment or two earlier, but she has great memories of many years past. My father also is less active and remains alert. I thank my parents for the many great years we have shared, including many Family Sundays. And as we approach Mother's 78th birthday, I am also thankful for the past 48 years which I have been privileged to share and enjoy with them both.
