Hi Teresa,

You always say the nicest and the kindest words. You are truly a nice person.  I am glad you liked my poem for my dad.  He passed away nine years ago but he will always be with us in spirit.  Blessings to you, too.

My best regards to you and yours.

Nenita

Hi Judy.

Thank you for your kind words.  I am very thankful and am glad that you liked my poem.  It has been nine years since my dad passed on (I called him Papa) but he remains in me in spirit.  Father's Day is the day we cherished fathers, deceased and living and remember them.

I still enjoy reading your article, "Franklin Tennessee: Family Fun and Family Counseling?"

Best regards to you and yours,

Nenita

Hi Connor.

Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me and am glad you enjoyed and liked my poem, a tribute to my father.

I looked up in Wikipedia the poet, William Topaz McGonagall, a weaver (he is a weaver of words!) from Dundee, Scotland. I like him and his work, an amuzing comic poet.  He wrote, "The most startling incident in my life was the time I discovered myself to be a poet, which was in the year 1877." 

Best regards to you and yours.

Hi Nenita,

 

A very nice ode and tribute to your father. I hope you can remember the good times and the wonderful strong examples your father obviously set at what is probably a difficult time of the year for you.

 

Take care,

 

Ben.
