I remember my hands being really, really cold, painfully cold, and I remember running into the kitchen to get warm. We were always told that if your hands are cold you should never put them near the stove or the rad as that gave you chilblains .. my Dad was very convinced of this.
My memory of that day is of my Dad taking my tiny hands in his huge hands and rubbed them gently to warm them up. I can still see exactly where he was sitting in our kitchen & my tiny little hands completly enclosed in his huge ones & to this day I can feel the heat from his hands warming up mine.
A world is born again that never dies.

When I was a teenager, my Dad and I went on a camping trip. Just the two of us. My twin sister was still upset about the divorce and refused to go. We hiked around this gorgeous little lake and up the waterfall on the far side. At that age, it was such an adventure. I'm sure if I go back to that lake it wont be the same.
A painful memory, but equally bonding...
I helped him recover from a triple bypass in the hospital last year. I have never witnessed so much pain in my life and will never get over how traumatic and exhausting that was for both of us. He is healthier now, but not pain free. We still don't talk about that week in the hospital much.
