Like my dad
Have you ever had that realization the older you get that you are more like your parents than you thought? My sister sent me an e-mail today saying that she is a lot like dad (in reference to one of his primary virtues). I’ve been having the same experience lately about feeling “like dad.” Here’s
So Cal
