Hi RJ,

I hope that this message finds you in better spirits today. Thank you for commenting on my post. I know that I share a very unique and precious bond with other women who have lost the first man that ever loved us and whom we loved back--our dads. As sad and painful as my heart aches, I am truly honored and grateful to have been given the opportunity to have such an amazing role model of a man in my life and I'm sure you feel that same honor. I continue to pray for you during this difficult time.....by the way, from the looks of your pictures, your dad has a very warm, and genuine smile...keep that beautiful smile always in your heart and mind.
