My Dove Chocolate wrapper's message to me yesterday was "Quote your dad." Hmmm.

Dad was a gentle, quiet man of few words. And that was the beauty of it, he lived his messages. I do remember his prayers always contained the words, "Lead, guide and direct us..."

And amid all the clamor of a life with a family of seven, he listened to that inner core of Wisdom, balancing him and us.

His words linger.
