I don't have many (any) other friends like you. We have so many differences, but having known you, I am sure that you have one of the purest hearts around. Your devotion and joy inspires me. I smiled so big when I saw the 5707 house. I loved that house too. What a gift it is that your house will give another family so many memories. I had pizza there. I loved the prints in the downstairs bathroom -- (if you mess it... .) I even remember exactly where the toaster oven was. Definitely an impact. love ya. -E Quimby,

I so look forward to your comments. Thank you. (For readers who might not know - Dorothy is my step-mom and friend, who took wonderful care of my father for over 25 years).

I have always known that when people truly focus on themselves, there is very little happiness and no joy. I did not know you were a control freak? Makes me laugh cause it would fit in with what your dad told me after our first year of marriage. He said that I was the most non-observant person he had ever known. As long as he brought it to my attention I discovered he was one hundred percent accurate. I also decided that not observing some things was probably to my benefit so I accept the fact that I am that way but it is okay. I have also felt for many years that being content with oneself (am not sure that is a word) does bring some comfort and have been content with who I am. I know your dad defined me and going off in the direction that I am now is helping me to find some peace. Again, I look forward to everything you write and pray that you will do a book some day. I just re-read one of your Christmas letters the other day and definitely felt joy while reading it. Love ya, Dorothy What a profound message you have written.
