Just Because

While I get my stunning good looks and charm from my mother, I like to think I am emotional creative because of my father. He just happens to write me some of the most lovely prose imaginable – you know, when he’s not saving lives.

This quote is from an e-mail he sent me this week. I keep coming back to it . . . even when you make big decisions for yourself, and yourself alone, it’s still nice to be told that someone is proud of you.

“Glad you are getting settled.  Hope it feels like an adventure still.  Proud of your striking out again in a foreign land.  Leaving sharpens a definition of home sometimes.  For better usually.”

Thanks for the support, Old Prospector! Love you.
