The strengths that I found (and continue to find) through that stem directly from him - inner strength, confidence in self, do unto others, kindness to others, and, something I continue to work on, the wisdom to pick your battles, and not let the little things get you down.
These are wonderful! I admire that you're able to list them so clearly. I bet your dad would be so proud of all these wonderful traits and strengths you've developed. Now....

Take a moment, if you can. Just put your pen down or the mouse or whatever and just look inside, and let your self confidence and inner strength show you what YOU think it means. I think you already know.
And just one last comment if that's ok...I notice in a lot of your posts you're talking about what she wants, what she might want, what she doesn't want, what she seems to feel, how she seems to react...My question is - what do YOU want, for YOU?
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
