One last photo of my “second father” taken, this time, in Arizona at ruin not far from Tuba City at Wupatki National Monument. There are so many sites the ancient Puebloan People left behind as reminders of their civilizations. This photo of Fred framed by the ruins and natural formations is a nice way of saying goodbye to my “second father.”• • #SecondFather #WupatkiNationalMonument #Arizona #AncientPuebloans #TubaCity #SpringVacation1993 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_8uMcFJe6/?igshid=1ephu6qoxwxm4

My “Second Father” Fred and I Together at El Morro, I think. From this particular angle it also looks like a couple other locations so don’t come down too hard if I got it wrong. Fred was my then partner Greg’s father who passed away a few years ago. I am left with such wonderful memories!• • #ElMorro #SecondFather #SpringVacation1993 #Memories #NewMexico #NewMexicoTrue #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_8onWlhIL/?igshid=uh4fpenx2pa2

Here’s a wonderful photo of my “second father” on his way down from an extinct volcano at “Ice Cave and Bandera Volcano,” a tourist attraction not far from El Morro. The ice cave is a relatively short cave in which ice is preserved for most of the year. Another great memory of this wonderful man.• • #SecondFather #BanderaVolcano #BanderaVolcanoAndIceCave #IceCaveAndBanderaVolcano #GreatMemories #NewMexico #NewMexicoTrue #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_8jPRl7Hy/?igshid=1fzh1vf31qz28

Here’s my “second father” again this time checking out the ruins on the top of El Morro National Monument in New Mexico. This monument has petroglyphs and signatures from Spanish Conquistadors and older Anglo settlers. On the top, as seen here, is what remains of an Ancient Puebloans settlement. This is also on the 1993 trip with my then partner Greg and his father, Fred.• • #SecondFather #PartnersFather #ElMorroNationalMonument #AncientPuebloans #NewMexico #NewMexicoTrue #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_8cYflZmQ/?igshid=1o8zc730smcsz

This was one of the sweetest most wonderful men I’ve ever known. He was my then partner’s father. He went on a trip to the Southwest with Greg and I in 1993 and was such a wonderful travel companion. I’ve always considered him a second father . Unfortunately he died a few years ago but I still miss him. This is an overlook. At Canyon de Chelly in Arizona on the Navajo Nation.• • #SecondFather #CanyonDeChelly #canyondechellynationalmonument #NavajoNation #WonderfulPerson https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_8WNalN3C/?igshid=96gpzj6viwfg

Happy Heaven Birthday to this fella. I couldn’t have imagined a more loving stepfather. He was there for us when he didn’t have to be, and he stepped in when I truly needed him most. I will forever be thankful for my second father, David Bost. We miss him dearly, but are beyond thankful that he was in our lives. I hope Aunt Donna is teasing you about how old you are! Happy Birthday!! We love you and miss you!! #stepdad #secondfather #heavenbirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CCW-Q5mhbRn/?igshid=11e211ku3515z
