Your comment about your dad and whistling touched me. I too was a whistler, I didn't do it all that frequently, but it certainly sounded better than my singing LOL. I missed it at first when I realized it was gone, but its OK now, its not one of the bigger blows I've been dealt I guess.. For a while, sometimes I could squeak out the stray sound, but its just wind now.. Who knew so many little things could be affected and missed! big hugs to you!
