Summer running.

[Sweder]

Well said EG.

I envy you those precious times running with your Dad BB. Just lately I've been lucky enough to work with my son Jake.
For the last few years he's been an eating machine, a surly teenager, a rude, indolent lodger, an uncommunicative sofa-dweller and the mother, father, uncle and aunt of all work-shy students. Turns out he's blossomed into a fine young man, a hard worker and a likeable fellow who gets on easily with others and plays a very decent game of pool. I've been given a chance to see him stand on his own two feet and I'm mighty proud of him I can tell you.

Your Dad obviously had the chance to see you in that way many times, but perhaps none more revealing than when you ran with him.
Taking on the Aquilianos together would have given him the opportunity to see his son in his element; no doubt he too was immensely proud.

I'm sorry for your loss BB, but happy for you to have such rich, vivid memories of your father.
