Probably a little bit of both. As to growing up to be writers. Well, you and I did!Patricia Gligor's Writers Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801554698484928100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-84773652944070006672012-06-18T12:01:15.813-04:002012-06-18T12:01:15.813-04:00That letter was SO sweet that it brought me to tea...That letter was SO sweet that it brought me to tears. I have no letters from my Dad or my Mom, but frequently heard a similar theme, "We do this because we love you. Parents who don't care just let their children run wild." How often I wished my parents cared about me just a little bit less!<br /><br />And there's that thing about being firstborn, too. Oh, yes. We grow up to be hyper-responsible (and writers?).<br /><br />Thank you for sharing. Father's Day is always bittersweet for me. I lost my Dad sixteen years ago. I cannot believe it has been that long. I thought about a Father's Day post but knew it would be too depressing. Yours is wonderful!marta chauséehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220377163454979720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577144322916822926.post-66404252270777891782012-06-18T08:51:25.889-04:002012-06-18T08:51:25.889-04:00Rhonda,
