I was deeply moved by – and so identified with – your piece . . . even though my own father, who died in 2006, left me more than a sturdy brush.

There were many levels at which I not only enjoyed it, but also identified.

Regarding a desire to provide progeny with a big score, I’m afraid this is often and perhaps even more commonly a function of ego and self-justification than one of genuine love and concern.

But anyhway, thanks.
