"Yes,
I AM Daddy's Girl!"
--
I finally snagged some courage to go through a box called
"Kathy's Stuff."
Not knowing what I would find, I continued and opened it. It
was no surprise that my mother kept everything important to her. That box
held memories of all her accomplishments: diplomas, baptism and
confirmation certificates, etc., all of her wedding cards and cards of
congratulations on the birth of her two children. This list goes on,
but you get the point. There was one piece that caught my eye. A
piece written by my father; AND who knew Johnny was a writer in his day.
It was a very beautiful piece, handwritten, dated, signed and as a fellow
lefty he stapled the four pages together on the top right side of the pages,
gotta love him. The thing that struck me was the fact that he opened his
story with a Quote/Poem. If you read any of my writings, I always do
that, helps spin the inspiration of what is to come.
His writing style is very much like mine or should I say mine is
very much like his.
Interesting what you find out when you nosey through
"stuff."
Just so you know, Daddy knows who you favor. It's no secret. Probably why the two of your scowl at each other so much, like looking in the mirror. I found a note my Dad wrote to my Mom when they were younger and it was beautiful to see how much in love they were with each other and I also am a word nerd like my Dad. BTW, I'm a lefty turned righty and I staple on the right. I read left to right, why wouldn't I turn the page that way?
