Thanks, Kai. A couple people at work had lost their father recently, and even having gone through it too, there's always a loss for words.

Thanks, Line. I've heard it said that sometimes it's better to hold your tongue in tough times like this. A friend of mine once said, "I hope you told him you loved him.... Did you?" (Referring to my dad after his passing.) I told her I didn't. (And it secretly upset me because those aren't words we used in our family, so it didn't even cross my mind.)

Thanks, Sandra. I agree, fun and easy. I got down to line four and I subconsciously had FATH, so I decide to make it an acrostic as well with FATHER. Was great to see your example for inspiration. Poetic hugs.
