I, unfortunately, did not inherit the fashion gene.<br /><br />Writing My Novel, you and I picked up right where we left off years ago, didn't we? I love when that happens.<br /><br />Betsy, I was in my late-fifties before I began to see my mother as the woman she was outside her mother role. It helped me understand so many things about her behaviors and her choices. One of the reasons I write this blog is so my daughters will know all the facets of me, not just my strengths and weaknesses as their mother. I think they already know that being their mother has been the best part of my life.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-60848252526826940872011-11-15T22:29:50.167-06:002011-11-15T22:29:50.167-06:00Great post, Linda...
