He always has an array of garlicky Greek spreads waiting when I get off the train, be damned if it’s two in the morning. One memorable evening, he traveled the entire city of Windsor on a midnight fudge run. [...]

Was lovely spending time with you last week — hope to see you again soon! (Please send my love to Lori and the girls.)

I still hold that the Y2K speech, a year before anyone had heard of Y2K, should have won All-City!

Thanks for the nice words, sweetie. Mom and I can’t wait to sample the potatoes!

Love, Dad

PS: Hi Sameer!

Jen: Potatoes and fathers, both very wonderful things. Women often say they turn into their mothers, but for some of us it’s the opposite!

Lan: Thanks for the kind words. :)

Shannalee: Yes! Anyone who stocks my fridge with produce scores high points, as does anyone who accompanies me on grocery store expeditions (which sometimes take hours).

And the way you wrote about your dad was so sweet. It’s such a compliment that you like being called like him, and I think it’s awesome that he stocks your fridge with produce when he visits. How could you not want to be like someone who does that? He sounds wonderful.

i love how you are able to find the beauty in being your father’s daughter, that while it might be a burden for some people, you find the achievement in it.

And secondly, I have spent my whole life being told that I’m just like my Dad. As a teenager it wasn’t my favourite thing to hear, but now I don’t mind at all and I can see how very similar we are as people.
I might go out and buy some potatoes just so I can make these.

This is a beautiful tribute to him, and I concur when you say you are your father’s daughter: you both make me feel happy and loved.
