What a great start to a Monday ... the news that I'm the winner over at Emjie's ... Yayyyyyyyyy!
I noticed Emjie's running Archive Friday ...
... Emjie's writes of a friends father's reaction to a poem she'd written. I instantly recalled the time in 1997 when I told my dad I was going to do a University degree ...
"You won't finish it" was his retort!
The cruelty of his words were nothing new. Like Emjie I was gutted ...
... but ...
... I graduated ...
... dad never took those words back ...
... I felt nothing when I'd hear him announce "Dorter has a university degree" ...
If dad knew of my upcoming venture no doubt his reaction would be identical ...
... watch this space !
