Quoting My Father

And, of course I love you. Indeed, I believe at this time in your and my life I love you more than I ever have. I find you to be a strong, intelligent (on most issues), warm and confident woman and you make me proud when I see how well you have and do manage your affairs through difficulties which would make a weaker person turn and run. And it is exceedingly pleasant to observe H (my son) and K (my daughter) turning out so well as they dip themselves into the adult world. They are both a credit to your tenacity. Watching you over the years has been like seeing a mother lion, fangs and claws bared against any and all who would harm her cubs.
