RIP SIR TOTARO...EVEN THOUGH OUR ACQUAINTANCE WAS SHORT AND OF A BUSINESS ONE, IT WAS ENJOYABLE AND MEANINGFUL. I WOULD CALL YOU PRETENDING TO BE CHECKING UP ON THE PROGRESS OF MY WINDOW YOU WERE REPAIRING, YOU WOULD ALWAYS SAY "IT'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL MRS HICKS, YOU GONNA LOVE IT" I WAS SO EXCITED, AND COULD ACTUALLY SEE THAT WINDOW WHERE IT ONCE STOOD. THEN THE CHIT CHAT CAME, I WOULD LISTEN AS YOU TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BUFFALO, THE HOMES, ESP THE ONES OF MY COMMUNITY. I WOULD...

Daddy~o, I'm so thankful for the signs you keep giving me. Of course you continue to make me smile (you always had a way!) with each coin you leave me because you don't leave just pennies like most would, it's a quarter or a nickle too sometimes. I always check the year & smile again. You have done a few more special things and it's a reminder that your forever with me. It sadly hasn't taken away my grief & sadness but it does ease it some. I think of you & miss you every minute of everyday....
