Please don't - many of us enjoy being able to get so close to Tori; and it's
all thanks to you.

As a fairly new father (3 years now), I identified with winter instantly.
You invest so much love and devotion in to this little person and they seem
so intent on self-destruction. Often feel like saying

	"When you going to love you as much as I do?"

If my little ones end up with as much feeling for me as Tori obviously has
for her father, I'll know I did my job.

Please keep sharing Tori with us all - just remind the trigger-happy ones
to wait for the full interview transcript. Thanks again and I am listening
to Kate at the moment, she says:

"Just look at your father and you'll see how you took after him" - All We
Look For (Kate Bush - Never for Ever)
