Dads Are Most Ordinary Men

If You've Only One Breath Left, Use It To Say Thank You.

A Bag Of Apples, A Pot Of Homemade Jam, A Scribbled Note, A Bunch Of Golden Flowers, A Coloured Pebble, A Box Of Seedlings, An Empty Scent Bottle For The Children. . . . Who Needs Diamonds And Van-delivered Bouquets?

A Younger Sister Is Someone To Use As A Guinea-pig In Trying Sledges And Experimental Go-carts. Someone To Send On Messages To Mum. But Someone Who Needs You - Who Comes To You With Bumped Heads, Grazed Knees, Tales Of Persecution. Someone Who Trusts You To Defend Her. Someone Who Thinks You Know The Answers To Almost Everything.

Bears Need People. People Need Bears.

Sisters Annoy, Interfere, Criticize. Indulge In Monumental Sulks, In Huffs, In Snide Remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize The Bathroom. Are Always Underfoot. But If Catastrophe Should Strike, Sisters Are There. Defending You Against All Comers.
