There is a deep respect there; a celebration of who he was, in that whole name.<br /><br />There are so many more of my family members that have come before me that I wish I'd known. When I hear stories about their antics on family vacations, I want to have been there laughing with them.<br /><br />Even if it was just a dream, I'm glad you got the chance to check in with your dad again.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052647782617418115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-14284890138155478462011-01-30T13:46:11.853-08:002011-01-30T13:46:11.853-08:00A beautifully told story.

And I can feel the love that flows between you and your parents and you and Heidi as always.<br /><br />Before Tom's mother died, my daughter sat out on the porch at our 4th of July family vacation in Edisto one whole afternoon and interviewed her, making a wonderful video of her conversation. She edited it and gave us a VHS--a precious gift. You have inspired me to dig it out and convert it into a dvd!Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345722113065788774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-90269005128219874542011-01-29T19:42:01.530-08:002011-01-29T19:42:01.530-08:00What a comforting dream.

Not so long ago my mom gave me a photo of my ten or eleven year old self sitting in my dad's lap. We're both laughing. His love of laughter (usually at one of his own jokes) is one of the things I remember most about him. It's strange, though, that this picture is probably only the second or third I've seen of him since he died almost ten years ago. That tape of yours is a treasure.Mr. Hass' Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966423580619691843noreply@blogger.com
