I'm sorry you're going thru this, but glad you & your dad are telling each other how much you care for each other. I bet he gets so much strength & happiness from you, his "spirited" girl. Sure makes you realize how important your family is!
I have handbag issues also. Last week it was a beautiful Italian buttercup leather one that I couldn't resist. There are worse addictions, right?
I'll be thinking of you & your dad......stay strong sweet M.
