This is the man who taught me that magic exists. That if you make a wish, it can come true…but first you have to make that wish, and then you have to work hard.
This is the man who always believed in me, and who told me I could achieve anything I wanted. Who taught me about love and compassion and perseverance.
This is the man I talked things through with, who gave advice, yet let me make my own decisions. Who supported me, whether he agreed with my choices or not, and if I failed was always there to reassure me. (photo 1967)
