It filled me with longing for a father I didn't have, and it filled me with peace because you've also described the father I chose for my own children. Lucky you!

Cindy, yes, I still often feel my dad around me. It's a comfort. I'm glad you can also recall some special moments with your dad. Meredith, we'd had a family dog before that but she was my first dog. And a most amazing dog she was. She was a beautiful little sheltie who was my constant companion until she died at eleven. Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts.
