It's a love without end, amen

I talk a lot about Chosen Family -- and about how mine has been and continues to be the reason that I'm not balled up on the floor in a puddle of tears and slobber or davitting (sp?) in a corner somewhere. Sometimes this gets the intended laugh; usually just makes folks even more uncomfortable than when we started... suppose there are two kinda people in this world.

Annnnnnnnyway - since it's Father's Day, and since I'm not willing to get very sappy about my own Dad (please, we'd be here all week), instead I have a list of the Dads in my life that floor me with their open arms, their strong hands, their kind and wise words, their persistent flaws, their generous spirits, their giant laughter and, of course, above all, their never ending love.

Here we go - in no particular order (disclaimer for the competitive amongst you - you're all outstanding!):

Josh, Laine, Garry, Rick, Frank, Ben, Matt, Jim, James, Bob, Duane, Dick

and of course, Curt.
