On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, my True Lord bought to me: "Peckerhead"
I guess You see 'peckerhead' came by today. These red-headed woodpeckers were Dad's favorite birds, so it was great he came by on Dad's birthday. Dad died several years ago on January 11. He made it to his last birthday and I lied to him for the next 5 days every time he woke up that it was still his party and all the family was down in the other room eating cakes! He would smile and go back to sleep. My Dad was a Great Father. He loved me with all his heart. He taught me how to live and showed me how to die. He died in my arms. No one else was ever there. The siblings did not come, too busy to say goodbye to Dad forever. Oh Well-
Dad always wanted to go North to Alaska to see the big wilderness. So tonight, we go!!!!!!!!!!!
Dad taught me the love and respect of Nature. He gave me enough love to paint with all the colors of the wind.
Join me in celebration.

This is important in the history of Alaska, but I will go into this more tomorrow.
Innocent of Alaska
Our father among the saints Innocent of Alaska, Equal-to-the-Apostles and Enlightener of North America (1797-1879), was a Russian Orthodox priest, bishop, archbishop, and Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia. He is known for his missionary work, scholarship, and leadership in Alaska and the Russian Far East during the 1800s. He is known for his great zeal for his work as well as his great abilities as a scholar, linguist, and administrator. He was a missionary, later a bishop and archbishop in Alaska and the Russian Far East. He learned several native languages and was the author of many of the earliest scholarly works about the natives and their languages, as well as dictionaries and religious works in these languages. He also translated parts of the Bible into several native languages.
