What an interesting comment: more religious but with less faith. That's worthy of a whole book. How lucky for you to have that kind of relationship with your dad.

That you'll have these lovely family moments with punching and dogs escaping in the background. I love that, though.

And P.S. It's an evil trick to get a Steelers fan all sniffly and sentimental about the Browns. Thanks so much for being here, Chuck. And P.S.

Can we have big lollipops like from a fair? I want to hear your dad sing Sinatra! Ooh, can I have your memory of that? Just borrow it? Wouldn't it be great if we could take the best, most vibrant things and put them on little mp3 or video players to share with others? Populate the heads of others with happy recollections should they be needed or desired? I think so.

This is his connection. I loved when he watched me at that recital and was proud. I also, related to my father, loved the moment I showed him the sonograph of my first child-to-be, Lexie. This was monumental since I realized that I didn't want old wounds to enter into the newest generation I was about to birth into this strange world--and I buried the ax, deeply, in the ground, when I invvited him back into my life in that way. (Isn't it amazing how there are so many details in each person's memory that to tell the memory would take forever and all the interconnectedness of the response to the prompt can be so internalized, we need to tell others, later, what the connection to one thing or another was? Thanks, Susan, for LitPark. This is the one place I talk the truth behind the fiction or obsessions. It's almost, not quite but almost, making me want to take a memoir spin with prose. Then again, though, I'll just do that here and let the rest of the art keep its covering layer. Still, we walk together down memory lane (s)--I am loving this with you and your wild coterie of writer friends. xo, H And PPS–my father bought me those lessons on horseback. This is his connection.
