My Daddy

He plays his music

Enticing others to give

To those who have less

Explaination and list of "December Views" participants here.

Image is of my daddy playing his guitar and singing outside of the Friendly Isle Market (in Kaunakakai, Molokai) for the Salvation Army. He does this even though he is not in the best of health being diabetic and a kidney dialysis patient (three times a week). The shunt in his arm makes playing uncomfortable, but he feels strongly about making his contribution to the world. That's my daddy!
