Is there a single moment in your life that you find yourself returning to over and over in your memory? What is it? How old is the memory? Not something you can change, but something you just cant shake.
When my father in law was on his deathbed, he talked to each family member seperately to say his last goodbyes. It will be 3 years since that day on April 15. The first thing I remember saying to him was "Thank you for welcoming me into your family.". What he said to me in the 15 minutes we were together, alone... I will carry with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life. He talked about his love for me and the wishes that he had for me and Bailey. The funny thing... he never once mentioned my (then) husband.
Maybe my FIL knew something I didn't. Not many people get to say goodbye to their loved ones before they die. I was so blessed to get that opportunity. There wasn't anything that I told him that I would ever regret nor take back. I can't shake the feeling that there was something bigger in that room with us. That feeling put the both of us at peace. My FIL looked so serene and I'm happy that the last time I ever saw him, he was at his most radiant. That evening at about 2 AM, he slipped into a coma.
You are a great fan of the written word, who's life do you wish you could have experienced? Fictional or not.
So many people over my entire literary lifetime and I have to pick one. Having mulled over this for a good couple days, I'd have to say that I'd have loved to live the life of Holden Caufield.
Catcher in the Rye was the first book I read that had the word fvck in it. I was amazed. Holden was everything that my parents had warned me about. I wanted to do everything he did... run away from school, go to NYC... and then meet my sibling at the carousel.
What profession do you wish you could attempt, but know/feel that you are not say tempermentally suited for it?
I'd love to be a rock star. I am better with small groups of people and not big crowds, so I know that having people scream and yell my name would only embarass me. Also... I hate singing in front of others. I'd love to know the rush of adrenaline associated with being in front of millions of people... but again.. .it's only a pipe dream.
What do you feel will be the hardest challenge in parenting when your daughter reaches her teen years, or teen experiences?
My challenge will be giving her an environment where she can talk to me. One of the kinks in my parent's parenting style is that they scare the crap out of me about so many teen experiences. They never told me any consequence of the actions.. only that I shouldn't do it. Another challenge is working as a team with her dad. He's (obviously) not a woman.. but really wants to find someone for B to talk to that isn't me because he likes to discount me at every turn (even if he has no idea what he's talking about). But, that's not so much an issue with B as it is an issue with R and myself.
Describe for me, the ideal date.
For me, it would involve a lot of talking in a nice, relaxing setting. I love places with lots of coffee... so I'd like to say a bookstore.. but again, I'm bias like that. Sometimes, what people read says a lot about them.
Bonus: Manners are sexy. Chivalry is sexier
