You can't "Toe the line," because you a fish - no toes. And you were raised by fish -tough, wonderful successful fish. So the whole, "toeing the line" concept is inconceivable.<br /><br />I love your folks, and I love you so very much!roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916948065233137971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-59204364444675383872013-06-03T14:23:39.908-07:002013-06-03T14:23:39.908-07:00I must preface this by saying I hate blog posts th...I must preface this by saying I hate blog posts that are followed by tons of comments congratulating the author on what a fantastic human being they are for writing, or deigning to communicate, or brushing their teeth, etc. etc.<br /><br />This is the first post I've ever read that I think deserves such a response. Your dad sounds strong and brave and imperfect, and pretty damn awesome, and so do you. He must be incredibly proud of you.<br /><br />Congratulations, and I hope you do resume teaching. We need far more people like you.<br />Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508883566813246491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-65226888320708008152013-06-03T09:16:41.398-07:002013-06-03T09:16:41.398-07:00Standing and cheering in my living room (the cats ...Standing and cheering in my living room (the cats think I'm weird). <br /><br />Great stories about your dad!

My dad was always about community outreach, using church funds to minister to low income, single parent, uneducated people instead of buying a new organ. Turns out church people only want a new organ not high-school-drop-out-single-mom-with-three-kids-by-three-men in their chuch. The establishment, be it the Methodist conference or the California school board, hates when people don't fit in their bubble. You are an outside the box thinker and that is not what they appreciate. But your students did & readers do.Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725441704877631777noreply@blogger.com
