He is a retired executive recruiter, and his favorite part of the job was helping the people who called him for advice, even if he wasn’t representing them. He’s a good guy. 🥰

Re 8: when they were moving into their current home, someone cautioned them away from it because they would be able to hear the playground of the school next-door. My dad said why would that bother me? That’s the most beautiful sound in the world. ❤️

I don't know about the handshake thing. I've had guys shake my hand to the point of almost crushing it, (is it an intimidation thing?) and I have to seriously fight off the urge to punch them in the face.

He said firm handshake. Not death grip! It’s not the feats of strength Olympics.
