"You
hear Dr. Dobson say that the greatest thing a father can do for his children is to love
their mother. I always knew that Dad did."
"He
was very patient with us. Not until I became a father did I understand it was
because he viewed spending time with us as a gift to him, not from
him."
"So
many memories, but I guess most of all I appreciate the fact that he was just there.
He had an extraordinary way of going about the ordinary."
"I
have letters that he wrote back home while he was in the service. Those are among the
things I really treasure---hand-written letters he wrote."
"I
have no idea how much the house we lived in cost. Or the car. Or how much
belonged to us and how much was the bank's. I just remember that he was there for
us. And that I was happy."
