Thank you, siren – you have no idea how much I needed to read something like that today.

have a good day ^_^
Thanks so much, S. I treasure any link from you not just because of traffic, but because of my own admiration for your blog. Hope Father’s Day treated you well.
Were I to speak now, I might sound like I’m coming down with a cold myself. I have yet to see the movie, but I’ve read the book twice.
Campapse – your blog is so wonderful. :) My only complaint is you don’t post enough!!
Seriously – beautiful post, and a clear vivid portrait of your father. Got me all choked up.
Ken – ha. I know what you mean. I got choked up too. But I’m sure it was just the pollen count in the air or something. Ahem.
:)
Yeah, the pollen. That’s the ticket. ;-)
Yeah, that pollen sure is thick of late…
