Dear Purists, dear Friends, I would like to share with you some personal feelings and memories, emotions and stories about my late Father, who left the family almost exactly 3 years ago. (If it is not allowed or if it is not in the proper topic here, plea...

You know very well that the life of a criminal lawyer is not always easy...

I know that too well...

What a nice tribute to your dad

A true Renaissance man! He would be proud how he still impacts you and is held in high regard.

Thank You very much!

Well, indeed, he could be described as a Renaissance man as well!

Thanks also for your kind words!

Unfortunately, my dad passed a year ago this month and I can easily say for those that still have parents alive, you should cherish your time together. Life and time go by so fast and sometimes you don’t realize it till it’s too late. Thank you for your p... 

Thank You, Vinnie, for your kind words!

My condolences for the lost of your father, I think a man will be man after the great moments of his life: after the birth of his child or a death of a family member. Both phenomenon are the greatest mysteries of life.

Thanks for your kind words!

Well, indeed, we loved ourselves a lot although we speak about it very seldom.

Its worth emulating life story.

What's more important that you have recognised the virtues and values of your father and are trying to follow them. My best wishes and regards.

Many thanks, dear Pun!

Well, I can respect his values even more after his death.

You penned a poignant tribute.

He lives and will live forever.

Such a beautiful post and loving tribute

There are times when I think my hobby is trivial, then I read something as moving as this tribute to your father and it see human connections and thread that watches create. Thanks for sharing and I am sure your father would have enjoyed seeing this post.... 

Thank you, Larry!

Yes, indeed, the human relationship is the most important also in the digitalized world!

Köszönöm, Zsolt!

Lost my Dad three years ago, too, Adam . . .
