As always, you have spoken *your* words "fitly!" Debbi, I have no doubt that you are! Saach, welcome to our blog. Thank you for your very kind words. Means a LOT to me! Linda, WOW, now THAT is a nice compliment (though I suspect you're giving me way too much credit) :-) Peg, thank you, my friend. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Christie, so very kind of you to say. I'm indeed fortunate to have such great examples! Geneva, thank you. As always, you have spoken *your* words “fitly!”

Debbi, I have no doubt that you are!

I know what I am about to say is redundant after reading all of these posts but I think it stands repeating: they way you describe your dad and his kindness is the way I see you, a person who speaks kindly of others and truly cares about people. Please give Mike a big hug for me and tell him happy father's day :) He did a phenomenal job as a dad to raise a son like you.

You are much like your Dad and it's fantastic to see the insights at your young age that you picked up on that made you who you are today. It's on Father's Day, more than any other, that I miss my Dad the most, having lost him 5-1/2 years ago. I know you cherish your parents and spend quality time with them each week. Treasure those times, as I'm sure you do. Thanks again for sharing stories of your life that have such impact! ~Peg Bob – what a pleasure to read this awesome story!

I think it takes a "real man" to NOT engage or agree with the conversation the carpet guy was trying to have. The nicest part (I think) is that, at the tender age of 12, you noticed your Dad's behavior. I'm guessing your Dad (and Mom, let's not forget Myrna!) is a big part of the reason you have become one of the.....let's see...how do I want to say this? .......nicest people on the planet! :) Awwwwww, this is such beautiful story Bob.
