He grew up with a mother who beat him, and he always swore that he would never lay a hand on my sister and I, and he never did. I admire him so much for breaking that cycle. <br />I love the back roads too, especially when we go "up north" to Wisconsin for summer vacation. It's where both of my parents grew up, and I could happily travel those dirt roads for hours at a time, but unfortunately my husband is too impatient for that. This summer, I'm making the time to travel those back roads, with or without him!★Carol★https://www.blogger.com/profile/18048131510779563893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-82846624170950747962011-03-28T08:32:33.253-04:002011-03-28T08:32:33.253-04:00I'll bet your post hits at the heart of many t...I'll bet your post hits at the heart of many today as it has me. For some reason, I couldn't get your pictures to come up so I can only read your writing which was so good it didn't need pictures. My parents divorced early in my life and my relationship with my dad was often strained. I loved him also, and I miss him. I've started blogs about him and just couldn't get it done. Maybe I will yet.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-78293943383759452092011-03-28T08:27:03.418-04:002011-03-28T08:27:03.418-04:00What a lovely piece, Joni.
