This is my father's tombstone. It is in a small cemetery outside of Toxin, Indiana. I go to his grave one time when I am back in Indiana. His presence is not there for me. I think it is because I never saw him alive in that place. I can always find him in memory when I press my nose to the seminary books archived in the assembly/dining hall of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Decatur, Indiana.
