Definitely not at all the typical sappy stuff. I can't say I'd react the same way because I was brought up with different 'values' in the Southern USA (Southern Gentleman), but it is very refreshing to read what you have written here. As ugly as it can be sometimes (or maybe not ugly - just unconventially beautiful), I think more people could learn a thing or two more about life and death by reading the things you have written herein.<BR/><BR/>I hope (and I would suspect) that despite some of the 'ugliness' you were raised with, or perhaps because you were raised with it, you have come to a finer appreciation of a higher quality of happiness, at least relative to the people you grew up around who you *thought* were so much happier than you (you just might have thought wrong). It sounds like perhaps this has happened with your now having a family. And being a huge fan of your sister, every indication I've seen is that she's a damn fine individual, so that's awesome, too! As cantankerous as your father was, it seems that you have come to appreciate some of those qualities, despite your distance from him in recent years.<BR/><BR/>As an aside - the song that you co-wrote with 'Suz' is one of my most favourite of all of 'her' songs - The Leaf Song. It's my most-played song of the last 2 or 3 years.<BR/><BR/>I know you may not want to publish my response, but I thought that it just might be worth writing to you for you to read, even if only privately.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you,<BR/><BR/>Another TowieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
