Brilliant, what a word picture you created, and so true.<BR/><BR/>Lovely post!lady macleodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830048414719866472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817033733788583560.post-84621490408160944692007-08-06T20:24:00.000-05:002007-08-06T20:24:00.000-05:00oh, i know just what you mean. my dad died when i...oh, i know just what you mean. my dad died when i was sixteen, and i have learned much about him since then, from my mom and others who knew him. but there is so much more that i wish i could ask him, because these people can't answer everything. for example, he always called me boomers. i wish i knew why, but no one knows. these are the things that i regret not asking now.<BR/><BR/>thank you for writing such a beautiful post.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389047861929002263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817033733788583560.post-64332080799336143182007-08-06T07:58:00.000-05:002007-08-06T07:58:00.000-05:00Very compelling post!

I get some of the most interesting answers from their perspective.<BR/><BR/>I can sort of understand your wanting to ask your dad questions.

Thanks for making me think this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817033733788583560.post-446666176765475562007-08-06T04:27:00.000-05:002007-08-06T04:27:00.000-05:00Beautiful, insightful post.Beautiful, insightful post.The Good Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266643682242094342noreply@blogger.com
