Once again, you enchant me...I envision your world a little, and then at some point I get teary after smiling. You are a wonderful writer. Miss you by the way...

This is so beautiful!

(Your father was a very handsome man. I guess a junior high aged girl doesn't recognize a good looking adult man especially when it's her friend's father who is also the principal... )

Thank you so much - yes, it's funny, isn't it? The thought of anyone's DAD being good looking was so foreign to us! (as it should have been!)
