The Power of Two


My daughter celebrated another birthday on Saturday. In spite of our very tough year (with tough times still looming ahead) we had a grand time hanging out. She prepared a simpe and very tasty dinner. And thanks to a gift card she finally got to use 2 years later, dessert was divine.  

In addition to being my daughter's birthday iting was also National Coming Out Day. I can say without reservation that my daughter is and has always been my biggest supporter, my grandest cheerleader. The year Neta came to town my daughter donned her 'I Love Lesbos' tee shirt and joined Neta and me at Chicago's pride parade, where she got lost in a sea of gays. She  kept her sense of adventure and sense of humor throughout. 

I love her, without question. I also like her a great deal. She is a joy as a daughter and a great find as a friend. I re-dedicate this piece to my daughter, my friend, my number one fan. And to all the other supporters over these last few years, ♥ ♥ ♥  I wouldn't be here without you all !!!

    What a cute picture of the two of you! I love it. I have to admit, I am jealous of all you women with daughters. Lucky you!

    A very happy birthday to her.

    1. Thank you. It is one of the few pictures (with me in it) that I do like. WE do have our un-sunshine, anti- rainbow moments. But i must admit the older we get the better we seem.

      Thank you.

  10. You know...it is easy to love one's family. To LIKE them, however, is quite another thing....she has lovely eyes.
