My Dad Voted Today

[CrusaderFrank]

In addition to a host of other ailments, he's been battling liver cancer the last 2 years and yet he found the wind in his sails and cast a vote today.

The happiest day of his life was this past Memorial Day in Washington DC when a group of High School students stopped to talk with him about his experiences during WWII.

He's got his 'I voted today' sticker on. He looks really happy.

Clearly he's a Working Families Party kind of a guy!

He's been an inspiration to me. He laughs and jokes and just takes everything one day at a time.
