I have a framed photo in my bathroom of my father doling out coins to my siblings and I at an outdoor school fair. We attended a country 2-roomed school and the fair at the beginning of the year was a huge event that drew in pupils, their families and the larger community for a patriotic beginning to the school year - with of course hot dogs, ice cream and all the accompanying goodies. Dad was giving us buying power and we waited respectfully, eagerly for our share.
I have to think on this Valentine Day, thank you, Dad, for the way you doled out love, safety, support, trust to us each day as surely as those nickels and dimes. In terms of life, you certainly provided us with buying power, each day. And still do.
