 |   Just things that I think about now and then. |
| Nature or Nurture? Nature gave me some doozies, that's for sure: Diabetes, the need for glasses, and a tendency for Alzheimer's in the future. I didn't ask for them, but hey, sometimes things happen. I have wiry, curly hair that I got from my biological dad. I have some hard-headedness that comes from my mom's side of the family. I'm sure that she would disagree and say it comes from my dad's side. HA! On the other hand, the dad that raised me wasn't my "real" dad. At least biologically. But to me that doesn't matter. He chose to become my dad, and he always will be Daddy to me. He listens, gives advice only when asked, and just asks that we respect him by not lying to him. It is always my intention to give him that honor, and to remind him that I am lucky to be raised by such a man. I'm proud to call him Dad, and am so very grateful to still have him to be able to call whenever I want. Nature or Nurture? I would argue that there is a bit of both. We cannot escape biology and all the stuff that goes with it. But we can take solace in the nurture of good and strong parents. I count myself very blessed, indeed. WC - 274 January Prompt: ▼  |
