I love the poem, Julie. A tribute to your dad. I heard forgiveness and acceptance in your words. Recalling incidents you wrote of in your first book, the crunched hay rake for example, could predispose me to expect no poem of recognition and praise. Of course I know who you’ve become in your life today. That you produced this Father’s Day poem is no surprise to me now. I’m so glad to hear of your family’s celebration of Jeff’s day as well! Grandissimo!

Thank you so much for this message today Gary. Yes, I've done a lot of work since that day, one I will never forget but have healed from. Thanks again Gary. It was a great day. I hope you had a wonderful weekend as well.
