(my Dad left us when I was only 2 yr old so don't really know what it would have been like to grow up with one...good or bad)
I received this in a letter from a very dear friend.
It is a beautiful sentiment :)

I think my hubby is like your dad. When we first got married,
he was teaching me how to use a computer. He gave me homework
to do everyday on the computer and would check it over when he
got home from work. One day I was making barbecued ribs for
dinner, put it in the oven then went to work on the computer
homework. Got lost in the computer. Needless to say I burned
the ribs. He found me crying over it when he got home, but
he sat down and ate those ribs anyway. He said they weren't
burnt that bad and tasted pretty good.
Gotta love him.
P.S. I never burned another dinner. LOL

How wonderfu. Your daddy was indeed a very wise man, and his daughter is a wise woman. We all have "burned biscuts" in our lifes, and we should embrace them and not judge them. Thanks for your wisdom.

Many decades ago - 1980 - I lost my first wife to a car accident. This left me with a 4-1/2 year old daughter to raise, plus complete and Air Force career. For the next 6-1/2 years I was "the man" to do everything for her, including cooking. Many a night I can remember coming home really tired and had to cook.
then I met this wonderful woman very close to the end of a 20-year Air Force career and we married. She could barely cook -- well maybe chili and lasagna -- but she still tried. I am the cook in the house and I am so very grateful that she is here now. After 24 years of marriage, she has become a wonderful cook. Every now and then she might burn something, or not have it come out as it is supposed to. I will never complain because I remember all those years how I wanted to have a mate to share in those things. She always apologizes for what she believes is a bad meal but I tell her that even her worst meal is a pleasure to me. She is in my life and I don't have to wish someone was there for me to share that meal. Oh yes, she took to my daughter like a duck takes to water, and about 3 years later she and I had a daughter together. The youngest is now 20, loves to cook and bake. The oldest is 34 -- microwave city! I am a happy man. God asked me to be very patient and the right woman would appear to me. I was, and she did.
