Help[Opinions] Re: ditto (m)
in reply to a message by Ludwig
Got it. :-D
The people I'm most interested in honoring - Helen (she was missionary who went to India and spent thirty years there, wrote a poem about how idiotic it was that female missionaries were told to get married), Judie (A doctor in the 1950s, basically gave the finger to that time period and did what she wanted) and Hulda (came to the US at 17) all have one thing in common: They lived with courage, did what they wanted to do and refused to allow expectations to dictate their life. Kinda of the way I wish I was - and very much the way I hope my daughter will be. (Oddly enough there aren't very many men I want to honor, just my grandfather Leonard who was a very kind man, and partly want to honor my dad. Mixed feelings on the latter.)
