In honor of Father's Day, here are a slew of new pictures. Also, a quick word.
In spite of all that has transpired in our lives, Tatti you are cherished. One truth I will always carry with me is that YOU LOVE US. An image of your grinning face, with its flowing beard and crinkling eyes, floats in my minds eye like an afterimage one gets from staring at the sun. Life has not been easy. Choices have not always been good ones. But I never ever doubt your love. It was always there - the best way you knew how to give it.
To quote Margaret Courtney, author and poet:
Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young, / Who loved thee so fondly as he? / He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, / And joined in thy innocent glee.
Happy Father's Day, Tatti. I love you.
p.s.
Mickey, Mickey, Mickey...
