“Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was, you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose, which he put on her bedside table.

At that time they were teaching that there was absolutely no difference between anybody. They may be teaching that still.

“There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray you, love, remember: and there is pansies, that's for thoughts. There's fennel for you, and columbines: — there 's rue for you; and here's some for me: — we may call it, herb of grace o'Sundays: — you may wear your rue with a difference. — There's a daisy: — I would give you some violets; but they withered all, when my father died: — They say, he made a good end.”

“A father carries pictures where his money used to be.”

“Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.”

“The greatest gift I ever had Came from God; I call him Dad!”
