that is simply one of the most beautiful things I have ever read, my friend. The truest and most beautiful things come when our hearts engage our minds, and that is certainly the case here. The love between you and your father is palpable: i feel it, as if it were a lovely wind, sighing amongst the trees, a ray of sunlight *touching* the bench he made for you. I'm so happy that you have these wonderful memories.

love,
jan
