I'm still recovering. There aren't many decisions I make that I don't put through my built-in DAD filter. He was one of a kind in my book. My feet are significantly larger than his were, but I pray that I can somehow fit in his shoes. My Dad has been gone since 1993. I’m still recovering.

I didn't follow his advice but he was right. My father’s parting advice when I went off to college: “Son, you want to find a middle-aged, heavy-set gal with lots of money and a bad cough.”

The tears never actually came out because I was too busy thinking about the grandfather who tortured us with long holiday speeches (pinky fingers up!)and odd Christmas presents like toasters and toilet paper. The man that had a two hour argument with his wife over which way you turn the door handle to make it lock! I thought of his other love - food (by the way - we were the lucky recipients of one of those Commodores). He always said "Eh, it's 'turable'.(terrible) You won't be able to eat that". It was of course, always delicious. And did he say he always made too much or not enough? I can't remember. Anyway, blog it up and remember if you need help remembering what it was like to parent a 2 and 3 1/2 year old - just let me know. WORD! E,
