Hi Dr. Laura,

My daddy gave me words of wisdom. He also taught me to chop wood; we had a pot belly wood stove!

He'd get up earlier, so he could stoke the stove and put wood in before we got up. A lot of times I got up with him. He could make so many different faces while telling a story, all funny! He would have me laughing so hard while helping with the stove. He sang in the mornings while making coffee. He played a ton of musical instruments, including the juice harp and a little piano!

He was the most interesting person I have ever known, witty, and kind!
