Your generous praises made me blush (with pleasure :)). <BR/><BR/>I take that you found my blog through Stephanie Klein's blog? It's just a guess, since I don't use my real name on my blog, because I don't really show it to people around me. <BR/><BR/>This entry about your dad really touched me, especially the paragraph that started out with "Daddy was not always the best with words". It was funny, and it made me smile. I think every girl with a non-dysfunctional father should be able to relate to what you've written. Since you mentioned that you have some interest in Chinese culture, I'll tell you that many Chinese parents don't really know how to love their children right, indulging them with materialism so that the children can study hard and live well (basically, making no emotional connection with their kids). I'm lucky to have parents who are also two of my best friends. <BR/><BR/>One more thing: I guess I'm still young and ignorant, because I always sort of thought the kind of life you lead around the country only belong in the novels and movies about people who are always moving from town to town in a car. But now I can laugh at myself and read through your archives. I was fascinated when I read your profile, and you have a very uncluttered and honest writing style that I find refreshing.<BR/><BR/>So, I think I'll add a link of your site to mine, for the sake of my own navigation, and to point others to your site :).Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068374821660755395noreply@blogger.com
