In Reply to: Yes, dad was in the picture. He was kind and generous and patient. - Can U feel my bitterness?

I have a daughter and a son, and my husband is very loving to all of us. He always says that he will set the bar high for her future boyfriends (she's only 6 now) in that he will always give her lots of attention, affection, courage and self-confidence. I have to say he's done a fabulous job so far because both my kids are WONDERFUL, caring, affectionate and thoughtful. Yes, I take some credit for that too, but they're both good seeds to begin with too! My hats off to your dear father. He sounded like a wonderful person. So do you!
