This picture was taken a week ago.  My Dad holding Pal, the newest of his ten grandchildren.

I love his hands.  His hands that gently and strongly hold my sleeping baby have worked so hard and given so generously these forty years I have known him.  As I know they did before I was born and as they continue to do every day.

Thank you Dad for holding me so gently as a baby and for continuing to hold me in every way as I grow.  I love you, Happy Father's Day.
