You know, I can't tell you how many times I've heard you say "I want so much to be like my dad". Whether you know it or not, you ARE what your father was. The man described above could very easily be you...right down to the shyness, obtuse puns, the many collections, the hours spent on the computer, and the devotion you have to your family and friends.

I never knew my father. I can't begin to understand what a blessing it must have been to have someone like that in your life.

I might say I envy you for having that in your life, but I can't even feel envy because I have like, NO CONCEPT, emotionally, of what it would be like.

I think you're a very lucky man that you DID have someone like that in your life.
