Today our journey home was impacted by some very sad news. Paige's father, Cliff, passed away this afternoon. Dad has been suffering from intermitent health problems that have escalated recently. Yesterday Mom and Dad took a ride to the cabin. Dad enjoyed the beautiful day and the work that had been done to update the siding and windows on the cabin last spring. The cabin was one of his greatest joys; along with family. His passing was quick today which was always what he wanted. We are in Miles City, MT and have 700+ miles to Duluth. We are going to try to arrive in Duluth late on Friday.
Dad was a huge supporter of this Alaskan trip. Mom always showed him our blogs and said this was one of the highlights of his days. When we called him, he wanted to know where we were and what we were doing. He'd always end the conversation with a wish that we would have a great trip. We will miss him!
