I love your Dad! Love what you wrote, all true. He is so caring and uplifting - looking and commenting on the good he notices, (like, "your such a good Mom" when I'm feeling so inadequate) but you know he is honest and really thinks so, so you feel better.
I wish everyone could have such awesome, supporting in-laws!
