I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Fondly remembering staying for dinner and debating the proper way to make a taco. I still make my ice tea and orzo pasta salad the way your mom showed me. The two of them are together again now. Most sincere sympathy.
