(In response to column published 8/22/06)

“My dad was not an emotional man and on his deathbed a few years ago I urged him to tell me he loved me. This sounds selfish but I knew it was something we both needed. Before he died I saw him cry, I heard him tell me he loved me and I felt the joy of being a young child as he said it. I think this conversation made his death easier for him and for me.” (Letter shortened)
