I'm so glad you posted this! Isn't it just truly wonderful! My dad was not a very verbal man and he passed away almost 7 years ago.

Two things stick in my mind that I won't forget -

My mom told me many years ago that she overheard him talking to a friend and the friend was asking if any of his kids were a "favorite". My mom heard my dad say "I don't play favorites, but if I needed to say it would be Kathi (tranquility)".

The other thing he said to me when he was dying was "I've had a good life. Your mother and four wonderful children, I have nothing to complain about".

I'm glad you brought those memories back for me. Definately rejoicing with you.

Tranquility
