If you read yesterday\u2019s post which listed three Thanksgiving faves, you might be assuming today\u2019s entry continues the holiday weekend favorites theme. In which case, the color of choice would be black because of Black Friday.<\/p>\n

A logical thought, but not quite where this post is going.<\/p>\n

This post is going for a memory triggered by this morning\u2019s sunrise. Or more specifically, by my sister\u2019s comment about the lovely Minnesota sunrise visible from their four season porch. \u201cLook,\u201d she said, \u201cit\u2019s sky blue pink with a heavenly border.\u201d<\/p>\n

Something stirred deep inside, and I asked, \u201cWhat did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSky blue pink with a heavenly border. That\u2019s what Dad always said when we asked him to name his favorite color.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suddenly, Dad was with us, two little girls hanging on the arms of his wheelchair. Two little girls asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite color?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cMine\u2019s blue,\u201d my big sister said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMine\u2019s pink,\u201d I added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd mine,\u201d Dad winked and grinned, \u201cis a little bit of both. Sky blue pink with a heavenly border.\u201d<\/p>\n

The true meaning of his words went over my head and into my heart where it lay dormant for decades. Until this morning, when my sister commented on the sunrise, and I understood that Dad – a man normally more attuned to humor and practicality than to poetic and artistic thought – loved the beauty of sunrise.<\/p>\n

From now on – whether my morning walk proceeds under gloomy, grey skies or those streaked blue and pink and orange by the rising sun – if you inquire about my favorite color, the answer will always be the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cSky blue pink with a heavenly border.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you, Dad, for loving beauty more than you let on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
