Hi Rigopoula. Of course I love the entire piece. ( Also eating/smelling/looking at basil, just sayin’ 😀)

I particularly like the passage above, meaning what one says. So. Very. Important. But yes, one does “grow” into it.

I also really like the last few lines. Yes! Yes!to the last one.

Your father sounds so wise. So dear. How lucky you were to have him in your life, my friend.
