On October 24, 2014, Brian and I headed down to Sierra Vista to say our final goodbyes to Dan, my brother-in-law's father. He was not yet 60, and he will always be loved. It was an emotional time, and the pain of his passing was even more bittersweet surrounded by the peace of the desert. The butterflies danced and the grasses swayed and the mountains cast long purple shadows from the white afternoon sun. It is Arizona in fall. Bright. Beckoning. Beautiful.
