Awesome. So you are the pretty young thing in the photo!I would have known by the great smile. It comes across in your words.
Ha! I don't know about either "young" or "pretty" , THOSE days are gone!
Thank you for the smile compliment, if it comes across in my words, I DO hope so indeed!
I know you'll especially understand this: one of the last things my Dad ever said to me
was in "Dad shorthand". He said: "You are a good girl, you're a
smart girl, and you are a beautiful girl and no one can ever take those things away from you."
That was my father's way of saying: "You know right from wrong, you're wise enough to try to do right, I love you - and no one will ever have the power to rob you of any of those things."
I'd bet a million bucks (or a million beers which might be better 
) that your Dad
would say EXACTLY that to you - M1. Think that's a VERY safe bet!
