So lovely! I see him in you in this poem, and I know that a fathers love is a myriad of things, and it moves my heart that you can write about the connection points. I can and can't believe it has been 20 years.

Francesca, what a beautiful tribute to your dad! The poem you wrote was glorious and I felt like I was doing all those things right along with you! I always wished my dad was more like your dad 🥰 His eyes always had such a mischievous sparkle that let everyone know he had such a large and loving heart. You and Gabriela were so lucky to have him as your dad! He was so proud of both of you and it showed with everything he did and said. Thanks for sharing bits of your life with him - it is so lovely to read your experiences!!!
