Speeches

My Dad has to give a speech at my brother's wedding on Saturday.  Dad hates giving speeches.  He finds it hard to talk about his feelings.  He is one of those people who wants us to know that he loves us, but finds it hard to say without tearing up.  He cries easily.  I do too.  It is something I have had to consciously work on - no-one wants a sympathy crier for a therapist. 

I have suggested this as his speech:

"Words could not express how *Mum* and I feel today, so instead, *Mum* is going to do an interpretative dance."
