Herbert Sablan Leddy
My daughter and I had the opportunity to stop by the Veteran’s cemetery in Guam to visit the grave site of my father, Herbert Sablan Leddy. He passed away when I was only 23 years old and my daughter was a four month old toddler. We dropped by on his birthday, July 5th.

There is no question that I miss him. He died because of complications resulting from a rare muscular degenerative disease. He was relatively young when he died , still in his forties.

Those quiet , solemn moments at the cemetery with my daughter with memories of my dad on his birthday are now locked in my heart.

I appreciated your comments regarding the visit to your father’s grave. It reminded me a similar time for myself when I visted my own father’s grave, also in a Veteran’s cemetary in Louisiana. I had a rather memorable re-connect and it reminded me of a relationship in days past that ended all too soon. It was moving experience. My father died when I was in my 20’s also. It is good to think of him now. Thanks so much for sharing!
Tia,
I appreciated your comments so much and glad for our shared experience. Think of your father often. I will of mine.
