I wanted to share with you all, some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen… of a friend and his daughter… before she went back to serve in Afghanistan Aliana at Alcatraz. That poignant reminder of what family is, as they tour the empty halls of that notorious place strikes even deeper as you see the entire family together and what she left behind in the Cherpitel Family Album. You can almost understand the looks behind some of the faces…. Wherever you are Aliana, may you be well and may God watch over you.
Peace and blessings to you all,
Steve,
Thank you very much for your words of care. Currently I find myself in Iraq. Far (physically) from the ones I hold dear. I was conducting a Google search for my name lol… Till I came across your post. Funny where ones path takes them. Here we are almost two years from the time of the original statement. In many ways we are all in the same place. The trip with my father to Alcatraz was a very beautiful experience. The day consisted of a simple boat ride and stroll through ruins of a time once before. However the impact from the journey on my father and I, could never be masked. I truly hope all is well with you. God Bless.
