There’s nothing that makes you more insane than family.

Or more happy. Or more exasperated. Or more . . . secure. (A quote from Jim Butcher's Vignette)

 Security, when I was a child, always meant...Daddy.

This is the picture I have above my desk so every time I look up, he's there.

I wish it wasn't just a photograph.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy.

Ci sono due cose durature che possiamo sperare di lasciare in eredità ai nostri figli: le radici e le ali

There are two lasting things we can hope to bequeath to our children: roots and wings.

From Riflessi d'Acqua

 And the quotation? Hmmmm. Hodding Carter? Borrowed from the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher?


I thought it sounded beautiful in Italian as well.


This is for Father's Day. Perfect.

Thank you for my roots and wings, Daddy.

 I miss you, except I know you're always there, guiding my hand as I write.
