Who would you like to be more like... your mother or your father?
Sorry I am just getting to this, John; been in heat or something lately...lol!!!
(well, lol, it IS hot around here; hehehe....)
Let's see...
I am a lot like both already.
My dad was a ladies' man, a communicator, a leader, but always tried to see new ways of doing things, until he found the way that worked best for him, personally, then he would sell it to everyone; lol!!!
The only way I am not like my dad is I have no sales ability. Too bad!!!
Otherwise, he never met a stranger.
My mom is probably who I am most like. She has a gentle attitude and loving, nurturing heart. She is easily hurt by people's comments and rudeness, but she never says anything either. I think it would be great to have her inner strength and endurance; she did not finish high school, yet went to work after my dad left us, handling all the accounting and payroll in a restaurant for over 30 years.
I have neither one's skill at crunching numbers or handling large amounts of money. I do OK, but not near as well as my parents could. I don't know, I guess I'd like to be like them both; the good qualities, of course!!!
