This is a proud father of Maggie. You
can see the love Michael had for Maggie and how she thoroughly loved her new home back in 1996.
The rest of the pictures are more baby pictures of Maggie. She really has not changed
much except she is bigger and a bit more greying like us all... She has settled down some with
age but she can still get so excited just as she did in the picture with Michael holding her.
Maggie was his constant companion. He taught her so much like getting use to walking in Weirton
as we did not have a fenced yard and to this day she prefers being walked rather than just let
out into the yard. She always really walked him. She had her agenda and you were only along
for the trip. These walks in Weirton often included stopping by our neighbor, Susan Birtle,
a fellow Conrail and NS friend. Weirton represented a happy time for us all. As many know,
my sister came to live with us. Michael and I were there for her during the birth of her
second child, Annie Grace. Michael always said birth was a miracle but it was far from
beautiful and was thankful he would never have to endure childbirth. I slipped a few more
recent photos of Michael holding Maggie. This fading effect really added a nice touch. There
are three versions of "I Will Always Love You": Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Whitney
Houston. I think I like Whitney's version the best but they all are really good. |
