Hm, 2011 both does and doesn’t seem all that long ago? #TBT

A “Year(s) Ago On This Day” highlight (column right) had me looking at a May 2011 photo of our family.

Our family at Katelyn's NEOUCOM graduation

Katelyn’s NEOUCOM medical school graduation in 2011 made for a great memory for sure … but leaves me a little bit sad. Still, I’m so thankful all four parents were able to attend her graduation, but I wish they could have been “healthily” around for more. It was the last big event for all of them together and makes for a perfect for Throwback Thursday #TBT post.

It’s too bad my dad’s head was turned behind my mom, but it is still a great photo with MomC, DadC, MomH and DadH.

Earlier this week Katelyn shared a Crossway.org Tim Keller post and it fit perfectly for today’s MDB post:

Keller loved to paraphrase the seventeenth-century poet George Herbert: “Death used to be an executioner, but the gospel has made him just a gardener.”
