I think someone else said it originally, but of course I remember him saying it when editing copy. Not mine, of course (ahem!) Myretta: Yes, definitely. I am so happy to have had him. Tara: I am sorry to hear about your dad. My dad's passing was very sudden, so I didn't have that same waiting, which I actually (in hindsight) think was better than if he had fallen ill. My dad was a very bad patient. Best hopes and wishes to your dad. Wendy, I agree (!!!!). I think someone else said it originally, but of course I remember him saying it when editing copy.

Myretta:

Tara:

I am sorry to hear about your dad. My dad’s passing was very sudden, so I didn’t have that same waiting, which I actually (in hindsight) think was better than if he had fallen ill. My dad was a very bad patient. Best hopes and wishes to your dad.

I'm so sorry. I read this a few days ago and had a good cry for you. My dad has not been well for several years, and we as a family are thankful for each day, week, holiday, year we get.

Although there is grief, that is also a reason for giving thanks, no? You had the great gift of a father whom you miss. Although there is grief, that is also a reason for giving thanks, no?

I wanted to say that I love what your Dad said about exclamation points - "only if the universe is on fire!" LOL That probably needs to be put on T-shirts and given out wholesale to some writers :) I imagine that Novembers will be hard for a while.

Your friend's death sounds even more unexpected than my dad's, who at least had the excuse of age and hard living. I do exactly as you say, too, reminding my son of Grandpa Jeff, and what he used to say, and do, and that he gave him certain things. I do know he lives on for us, and a lot of the groundwork he did in his life continues on after his death. Thanks. Amanda(2): Thanks for coming by.
