My Dad, who passed 11 years ago of metastasized prostate cancer, was my weather watcher. He too was a grower of fruit trees, especially Japanese Persimmons. I can't eat a persimmon without thinking fondly of him. Knowing you'll see him again is a great comfort. God Bless You.

Us girls love our Dads.
