Relay for Life Williams County, Ohio

I'm proud to be traveling to Northwest Ohio in June to participate in the Williams County Relay For Life on Friday June 24th.  Our whole family is participating in honor of my mom and my partner who are cancer survivors.  We have so many family members who have been affected by cancer.  We are a family of survivors.  Our team, Counting our Blessings, is growing and raising funds.  I hope you'll join us or support us with a donation.

I fly into Detroit on Friday June 24th at 1pm, and depart on Monday June 27th at 3:15 pm.  I'd love to see friends and family who live near my folks during that weekend.  I hope we can connect!  Join us at the Williams County Fairground after 6pm Friday for the Relay.

In Memory of Frank Muehlfeld, 1917-1998

Today marks 13 years since my Grandpa Muehlfeld left us unexpectedly.  I'll never forget that day.  I was at work at GE in Cincinnati when my mom called.  I think I was in shock.  It's always painful to lose someone you love.  I think about my Grandpa often.  He was always larger than life and he could fix or do anything.  For a very short time, he got me hooked on Skoal Bandits.  Fortunately, that didn't last long.  As a young adult, some of my favorite times were sitting in Blakeslee with Grandma and Grandpa, doing nothing, just talking and watching TV.  Those were precious times! 

Remember to tell your family members that you love them.  You never know how much time you have left with them or that they have left with you.  Don't take any moment for granted.  Live it like it's your last.  I know Grandpa is smiling down on all of us now, proud of his legacy.  And while we miss him, we know that he will be with us forever.

Lots of love, Grandpa.
