Wow, that's ...Sisters from Ghana and Botswana? Wow, that's quite a cultural difference! I wonder how they got so far apart and how often they get together. It's so cool though to be welcomed that intimately. I think that speaks to what we all know... that you're an exceptional and remarkable person!<br /><br />The apology from your dad was a surprise to me. My own father did a similar thing, even though we have had a mostly good relationship. It breaks my heart to know that as much as I love my children, I will one day have to come to terms with my shortcomings, admit failure and ask for forgiveness. Curse this foolish pride. I wish I could just always be a good dad.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-61627080755873300682013-04-09T11:42:24.644-04:002013-04-09T11:42:24.644-04:00This is so beautiful.

But I feel so full of YOU, so swelled by your life and thoughts and lessons, that I have just fallen for you all over again.<br /><br />This is gorgeous.<br /><br />Incidentally, a few other commenters seem to be doing this activity, too. I just read the micro-moments of the commenter after you, a woman named Ilyanna, and hers, too, is a worthy read. If you want to see what someone else did for this, hop over and read hers. You'll feel like you've just met a new friend.<br /><br />I am so delighted by this.
