DAUGHTER OF MURDERED MAN REJOICES IN HOLIDAY MIRACLE

DEAR ABBY: I wrote you in October and received your personal
reply. I'm the girl whose dad was murdered, and I was looking
for a support group. You referred me to the National Organ-
ization of Parents of Murdered Children, which provides mut-
ual support to persons who have survived the violent death
of someone close ( class="abbylink">www.pomc.org).

I have a little "upper" for you now. We all know about the
letters you have printed about Pennies from Heaven, but I
don't know if there ever has been one like this.

My dad always wore a gold cross around his neck. He never,
ever took it off, so naturally I asked the funeral director
to have him shown in it but asked that it be removed before
the burial.

Well, lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. So we
called everywhere we could think of to locate it and ended
up thinking that somewhere along the way from his being
killed, taken to the ER, to autopsy, to the funeral home,
it had been lost forever.

A few days before Christmas, we found it! It was in a box
of pennies my dad had collected. He must have taken it off
before he left that night because he had been seen in it
earlier that day.

We all believe in miracles, and this is my very own Christmas
miracle. Thank you, Abby, for everything you do for so many
of us who are suffering. I love you.
-- SARAH

DEAR SARAH: Thank you for your kind letter. It touched my
heart as I know it will the hearts of my readers. I don't
know when your father removed his cross, but take comfort
in knowing he left it to bring you solace, and I hope that
it serves its purpose. I love you, too.

DEAR ABBY: I have a great job working with people I enjoy,
and probably the coolest boss in the world. There is just
one little problem. He keeps asking me to go out with his
daughter.

She is a wonderful person, smart and absolutely beautiful
-- but she is also recently divorced. I'm afraid I would just
be the "in-between" guy for her -- a stepping-stone to her
recovery. In other words, whatever happens would be at my
expense.

How can I politely tell my boss that I cannot date his
daughter?
-- REALIST IN UTAH

DEAR REALIST: Tell him you are flattered, that you think
his daughter is smart and absolutely beautiful and a wonder-
ful person. Then tell him you know how painful a divorce
can be and you would prefer to wait until she is emotionally
back on her feet and has gotten her bearings before inviting
her out.

Do not completely reject the idea because in six months or a
year, if she is still available, you may change your mind.


DEAR ABBY: I'm having a dispute with my husband. He thinks
that you screw in a lightbulb clockwise. I disagree. I say
counter-clockwise. Which of us is correct?
-- ERIKA IN PELHAM, ALA.

DEAR ERIKA: He is. You screw in a lightbulb by turning it to
the right, the same way you tighten the lid on a jar -- which
is clockwise. The mnemonic for this is: "Right is tight; left
is loose."
