"love is just the first thing that I have for you.....all else is based upon the first principle and is standing in line waiting for the right time to appear . . . forever your father"
beautiful, profound words that dove straight for the core of my heart. it speaks on so many levels. love first. everything else comes out of that love. and wisdom makes it happen when the time is right. and forever, always, my father will be my father. the spiritual implications are leaping out at me, and i will treasure that forever. but just for a moment, i'm going to treasure them as the words they were foremost meant to be - encouragement from my earthly daddy to the depth of my spirit here on earth. i love you, dad. and i hope all else is based on that principle.
