75 My father passed away in 1970. During the splendid twenty-two years that we spent together, we never had a difference of opinion, except for one night when I got ready to go out to a ‘Learn to Dance’ class with a friend of mine, Tony Villanti. I was not sure if he would come, and my father said “you were up early this morning, and you will be up early in the morning, so you should rest”. As it turned out, Tony did not come, so I went to bed early. That is the only time my father ever questioned me. I believe it was a remarkable and loving father/son relationship. My mother could not read or write, but she was extremely intelligent by nature. She was talkative, and tried to tell me many times how to operate my business and, looking back, I wish I had listened to her. She was ‘spot on’ with her advice. Both my father and mother were loved by all who knew them, and they were kind and compassionate. I miss them both very much, but I hope to spend eternal life with them both in Heaven. Love between a husband and wife is Heaven on earth! Their love must be genuine from the time they met until the end of their time on this earth. Love keeps couples together during good and bad times, during health and sickness, and even during differences of opinion. Love needs to be active during marriage, and should not weaken under any pressures. Genuine love between husband and wife should flourish and make them inseparable, and true love will find a peaceful solution to any disputes that may arise concerning children, parents, relatives and friends. The love of a family is silent and cannot be touched, because it is in their hearts, but you can feel the happiness it provides throughout your mind and body. Love is the biggest secret of success both in private life and in business. If you love your occupation, you can not fail your customers or your employer, as they can see that, whatever you do is done with love. In return, the public will support you. Your garden around your home will respond to the love with which you attend to it, and your neighbours will return any love they feel from you.
