Soooo many wonderful memories of my Dad. From reading other posts, it sounds as though my Dad was your Dad, as well. LOL I feel that there's such a special closeness between fathers and daughters instinctively inherent in us all gals.

I was so very fortunate to have a loving, devoted dad who always was there for his family who adored him. I never once recall my Dad ever speak a harsh word about anybody. He lived by that golden rule as well...."do unto others...." I recall my Dad as a brilliant man who always had answers to my questions. He was a soft-spoken man with a great sense of humor and enjoyed writing parodies and poems. He loved to cook and was a great cook. We would tease Dad about cooking and he replied with...."and who are your best chefs?" Of course, at that time the answer was that men were.

Dad has been gone for many years now and his loving memory fills my heart with love.
