You made me realize that the effects of loving men travel down the generations and in picking good men, we have made more of them and we have made daughters who will marry good men because they know they deserve them and they look for those good qualities in the men they fall in love with. Although the harmful effects of bad fathers can last for generations, (and I am speaking here only of my own family of birth), those effects can be negated in one generation with one good choice. And I made that choice and thus, my children and their children will be part of that goodness which is possible. <br />And isn't that wonderful? And haven't you done wonderfully well in your choice? And didn't your mother? And your husband's mother? <br />May the love never end. Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
