I’ve just finished reading the story written by Robert Whale, “Dad leaves his love, memories” (Auburn Reporter, Jan. 6). Just want to say it was beautifully written. I shed a couple of tears after I read it.

What touched me the most were these lines: “I think what he passed to me was his odd way of looking at the world, a mixture of pessimism and a keen sense of the sublimely ridiculous. Also his love for words. He will always be there in my mind … “

Those words are a confession of love for his dad.

Thank you so much.
