I may not have succeeded at everything I tried, but I always learned something about myself in the process.Trudi Trueithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505633674651501284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-88714108079587576012012-05-06T15:58:09.672-05:002012-05-06T15:58:09.672-05:00The gift of trying is one of THE MOST important gi...The gift of trying is one of THE MOST important gifts parents can give!Holly Schindlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742207239654178917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-83453781572861665682012-05-05T14:47:00.669-05:002012-05-05T14:47:00.669-05:00Trudi, not only did I have an imaginary best frien...Trudi, not only did I have an imaginary best friend - who I renamed on a regular basis - but I also had an entire community of elves that lived under my bed and came out to work across my floor at night. Hundreds of them and I knew them by name. They kept me safe from the under-bed monster that liked to reach out and grab my ankles when I was getting into bed. <br /><br />My parents divorced when I was pretty young, but they had a mature and respectable relationship after that and I always felt safe, loved and supported. Congrats to your parents on 60 years. That's beautiful!Kai Strand, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012304963642303041noreply@blogger.com
