BoBu: Thank you for this, Buddy Of course he knew he was asking you on Saturdays and Sundays, that’s precisely why he would ask. Same for when he’d ask “Did you pass?” no matter what part of the school year it was. And I loved when we’d bring friends around to watch TV and he’d ask, “Do you have TV at your house?” He was the Ultimate Smart Ass. And I love that some of that rubbed off on all of us. Remember how he would hardly ever call anyone by their right name?
You were a great student… you have that badgering thing down to an Art. I’m so glad that you got to know him as well as you did before he left us. I can still see him nibbling on your ear when you were just a little tyke. He adored you like crazy.

Piglet: Thanks from the heart

I miss pap-pap. He and I dominated many-a-word find in our day. He’s the reason I pour garlic over everything I eat. He’s probably the root of my never ending badgering of Gram. And while I’d let him know what I learned in school EVERYday when he’d ask me, I’m still not sure if he realized that he’d ask me the same question on Saturdays and Sundays.

PD: Thanks. Sweet of you to speak up.
They say couples begin to resemble each other after awhile.
You need a haircut.
XO

Lori: Thanks, and enjoy that hug.

Jeff: You just made my day.
I’ll tell PD you said so. When he stops laughing, I’ll let you know what he says…

K’lar: I knew you had another side…

Mark: Thanks for sharing that.

Natalie: He would have liked you a lot. And it would have been totally mutual.
Please tell P&M I said hi when you see them.

M+: LOL. I hope they are!

Very touching.
I can really relate to this post. I’d bet that your dad and my dad are probably having a few laughs at some poor, exasperated saint’s expense right now.

That made me cry! I wish I could have met your dad. I can’t imagine my life without my dad. He has taught me so much and I truely respect him. I never leave either of my parents without a hug, kiss, and an “I love you”.

What a great tribute to your father. I dread the day I have to think back to when my dad used to be alive.

For years my phone conversations with my father ended awkwardly — I think because both of us knew something was missing. Although actions, not words, express love better than anything else, it meant a lot to me that, now that I’m 37, my father and I close phone conversations with, “I love you,” without mumbling.
