Dennis Ousey June 14, 1947-December 16, 2005
Margot, Remy and I went to see grandpa at the cemetery today. Remy calls him "Pa." It was freaking cold and raining cats and dogs. We didn't stay long. Then we went shopping. A little retail therapy never hurts.
It has been 1472 days since he left us. There are many people out there who miss him.
In honour of the fourth anniversary I went back to read a few Prairie Dog Blog postings. I went back to December 2004. The first posting to come up was so typical of him. He was really concerned for the people of Asia who were victims of the Tsunami. I still donate to MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres) in his honour. Then I read the one he posted on Dec. 16, 2004, one year before he died. I recommend it to anyone who knew him. His voice still sounds loud and clear. A little politics, a little humour, a little family news. It is so him. The world is a poorer place without him.
Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, the present and the future. Gail Lumet Buckley
