Joy On the Other Side of Grief - Post #2 - My Handwriting Is The Worst!
My dad's handwriting I have always been self conscious about my handwriting. My mother's handwriting is perfect. I mean, just lovely. Then there's mine. No matter how I tried - I just could not measure up to hers. If someone said, "my handwriting is the worst," I would challenge them to look at mine. I always won. Recently, my perspective has changed. A sample of my dad's handwriting can be seen above. I was floored when I saw this. It is identical to my - what I thought - was awful handwriting. Now, admittedly, it is not the best. What changed my perspective is that it is my dad's handwriting and even though I grew up without him - my handwriting matches. How cool is that? Answer - very . Finding this, I feel like somehow my dad is still influencing me. I am also taking a part of him into the future. So - sloppy handwriting is now my mark of honor. What's your joy on the other side of grief...
