My Dad is having quadruple bypass heart surgery today. Please think a good thought (or three) for him. I love him, a lot.

I check your site every now and then for posted poems. This latest entry, with the five words "I love him, a lot" and four pictures showing the strength of your father's bond with his loved ones, move me with the force of a heartrending, beautiful poem. (I think it's the "a lot" that got to me.) I'll be praying for him.
Be strong for him. Blessings to you and your family.
Todd, My very best thoughts and all fingers heavily crossed for your father and you today. Respect and xxoo, Dennis
Sending out good thoughts to you and your dad today.
Sending you my best wishes!!
xoxo
SL, Dennis, Kelly and Sandra (and the countless people that contacted me off line): thank you so much for your kind words and support. It means so much.
Love,
Todd
