to my father, whom i will miss terribly, ironically his stories that he frequently told that are a very important part of the fabric of who we are and will become. he had his own struggles/vices in life and i hope that he is now at peace. daddy was many things--generous, hard-working, a man of few words, spoke both english and polish, a jack of all trades with home repairs,tried to teach his five daughters many things sharing his workbench with me, interested in nature, adored his parents, humble and, combined, my parents are the smartest people i have ever met. i love them dearly and know that the loss a parent is like losing a part of yourself.
