My dad would have been eighty six years old today…we lost him to cancer 14 years ago…I miss him everyday but he is always with me…last night during a rehearsal of Brahms Fourth Symphony, he was there with me while I played the heart wrenchingly beautiful flute solo in the last movement…this morning, when I photographed his painting of the purple iris’, he was there with me in the quiet morning sunlight…this post is for him…a thank you for all he has given me…a love of music, art, and a passion for life
Original oil painting of Purple Iris’ by Chester L. Geissler
Crying now.

Danielle,
So beautiful …
Danielle, I didn’t know your dad that well but I recognized him as a kind, generous, interesting, funny, and talented man- characteristics that we would all benefit from aspiring to. Thanks for sharing the product of one of his many talents with us in this post.
