Was it about raising a family? Relationships? Golf courses?
Also, what parenting trait or traits did you inherit from your pop?

My wise, wise Father gave me advice I use everyday, bless his heart:
Lord loves a workin’ man; … see a doctor and get rid of it.

I was raised by my grandfather who when I got engaged told me, “Don’t marry the person you can’t live without; marry the person you can stand to wake up next to for the rest of your life”

30+ years ago as a teen, my father told me, “PC’s are going to be the future. Learn computers and you’ll be set”. I did and 4 months before he died he said, “I’m so very proud of you”.

When I was a little girl I wanted to be like my father. One day he told me that to grow whiskers like his I would need to put honey on the outside of my face and chicken droppings on the inside. “But Daddy,” I said. “I want to put the honey on the inside.” “Sorry,” he said. “That just won’t work.”
