Family gifts

And now the family begins to form.  I have known the following quote for a very long for a long time, and it never ceases to devistate me. for what it is worth I share it with this family.  It is attributed to the diaries of Emily Dickenson,

"I dream about father every night, always a different dream. and forget what I'm doing daytimes---wondering where he is . . . I am glad there is immortality, but would have tested it myself, before entrusting him . . . Home is so far from home--since my father died."
