I was going to ask you what saudades was but I then decided against such laziness. I looked it up and was very interested by what I read. Certainly I can see how "a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness" could be applied to your father.

There's a post here, Anna. You should write it.

Mmmm... I wonder what dictionary you used! "Saudades" is an essentially Portuguese word with no equivalent in any language--but it simply means missing someone. You have "saudades" of your father, or a loved one, a friend. Or "saudades" of a place, like your native country... It does indeed sound like a post in the making, Margaret! (Have you heard the music of Mariza? One of her song/poems is "Saudades". http://www.mariza.com/)

I hadn't heard of Mariza--not surprisingly, being a land-locked Minnesota gal--but when I went to iTunes and typed in "saudades" I found many, many pretty songs by that title.

So! I learned something new today.

Obrigada!

(Did I say that right?)

Yes, perfectly! Were you a male, it would have been "Obrigado"...
