In a weird way, the reflection has helped identify me who I am and while I miss my father terribly the memories are that much more clear. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Chris HutsonChris Hutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021949312174605020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882700271785733320.post-2485592837515492092010-09-28T17:33:27.254-04:002010-09-28T17:33:27.254-04:00David, a very thoughtful and caring blog about you...David, a very thoughtful and caring blog about your father. I am glad that you resolved your differences. I hope that this respect for him will carry over to the family and others. Normal is different for each individual and we all try to fit in with this world as we know it. We all have our places in a family environment that we struggle with.

Over the years I realised that we had no clue what was "normal". Today we are all so much smarter and less niave than we were, and dont realise the weird and insane benefits of Jerry Springer and Oprah. We have a greater sense of who we are supposed to be. Two things I always wished..that I could be as smart as my dad (the guy had a brain that knew every detail of everything) and that I could be as witty as Mark Twain!David Himelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058879105374623194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882700271785733320.post-10853532314791965682010-09-28T03:03:37.520-04:002010-09-28T03:03:37.520-04:00Hey David,

My Dad is in his late 80's and recently presented me with a manuscript of his life which is an amazing gift for posterity.
