I for one find myself almost giddy when I recognize your familiar handwriting in my mailbox. To receive your words on paper is a gift, dearest Isa. One passed down from your dear daddy. xxx

I did! He had them bound and gave them to me as a Christmas gift. Best ever!

You, indeed have inherited your father’s many gifts. Thank you for sharing your insights, self-reflections, and some of your daily routine with the long road of grief with us. Correspondence is indeed a gift—even though today, in the many forms it takes, it is confusing to find the “proper form” to send it to one I care about. Postings, emails, digital cards, or paper—I send love & strengh your way. Oxox

The profundity of your writing, dear Isa.

The lyrical grit of facing the "worst hard times,"

and yet, somehow, you can feel gratitude and a wink of humor.

You are a magnificent creature, my friend.

As always, I send you Love, Love, and More Love.

Your father was on the Galapagos trip with us, and I remember him as most gracious, congenial and affable. He was clearly a man of substance. We were all drawn to him. What a legacy he left you.
