Wisdom of a Lifetime

Val had only few recollections of her father. They translated more as feelings and knowing’s, leaving her with more unanswered questions than the tangible memories she was able to muster. Recollection served her that her father was fun and devoted, loving both her and her brother well. This imprinted in her mind as actions, quality time, playing games and fixing toys. He was passionately devoted to their mother, Mimi. Val has sweet memories of them holding hands, laughing, and canoodling.
