Return of the Prodigal Son, October 2011
One hot summer evening in 1968 a young man left home for what seemed to him would be forever.
The Old Home, 43 years later.
George Edward Bulwinkle Jr., age 90
Ruth Rosalie Wilson Bulwinkle, age 91
The trees we planted, all grown up and old now, like me.
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth, 1802
Welcome back, Mark, to our beautiful home.
My sincerest love and thanks to Angel Elaine Pinheiro for doing what no one else could seem to do.
Peace
