What a great gift your father's continued presence in your life (with the help of your mom) must be--not just to you but your children, too. As you said, truly a blessing.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902905486725039444.post-37305705844656582012-02-02T18:04:50.989-08:002012-02-02T18:04:50.989-08:00I completely agree that saying "I love you&qu...I completely agree that saying "I love you" everyday is so important. You can't say it enough, if you ask me. (As long as you say it and mean it, of course.) When I say, "I love you" to my daughter, sometimes she says, "I know." Other times she says, "I love you too."Dara Dokashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648982080875439537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902905486725039444.post-11613109363440590932012-02-02T15:25:29.102-08:002012-02-02T15:25:29.102-08:00A very moving portrayal, both of your father, and ...A very moving portrayal, both of your father, and of your own personal resolve.

I always knew I was loved, and that is a very important thing.<br /><br />Glad you are carrying on the tradition to always tell your kids you love them. Thanks for the reminder - excuse me, I have to go text my kids right now!Jerraleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303751802364926617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902905486725039444.post-78516732349282361802012-02-02T11:11:32.023-08:002012-02-02T11:11:32.023-08:00Aw, how sweet.

I believe in life after death, and I believe that we'll be together again with our loved ones. In our family we also tell each other every single day, many times a day, that we love each other. so, if our children know nothing else, they will know that!!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.com
