another day, another round of useless information. and here i bet you thought (read: hoped) i'd forgotten. no such luck there. so buckle in and prepare to be bored senseless!

Day 01 - Introduce Yourself
myself
Day 02 - Your first love
love, love me do
Day 03 - Your parents
mom and dad. kind of bittersweet.

i have awesome parents. i really do. other than an occasional clash of opinions, my mom is one of my best friends. most of my friends have told me they think she's cool after we talk about something mom has said or done. i've always been close to her, too. and for all of his gruffness, my dad was really a softie at heart. they used to be foster parents and my dad opened our home to some of my friends when they were in need of a place to stay. sadly, he's gone now. has been for 10 years. i still miss him and wish he was here. but i have fond memories.

mom and dad both grew up in small towns in northeastern Minnesota. dad grew up on a farm in Winger. mom lived in Barnesville. when they first met, he was driving a black, 1955 Ford Crown Victoria with the Continental Kit on it. all of mom's girlfriends teased her about it, saying she only dated him for his car. i know that when they went on dates, they often took my mom's second youngest sister with them. when he rolled the car in a ditch and had to get it fixed, he was given a loaner. the girls started asking mom who she was now dating.

they got married in June of 1962. she was eighteen and fresh out of high school. dad was twenty two. they'd been married for 38 years when he died and they'd had their ups and down. she's never shown interest in finding anyone else so i guess dad was her one true love.
