Parent-wise ? No. Mom loved Pop’s looks, Pop loved her dynamic personality. I’m the kid who looks like Mom, and is quiet, reserved, like Pop.
They loved me anyway, I’ve no doubt—in spite of that. But not a favorite.

@bijouxbroussard do you think maybe they saw too much of themselves in you?

@Ghostinthemachine Yes, the qualities in themselves that they weren’t thrilled about.

@bijouxbroussard it’s sad that they chose to see the negative, rather than the good/wonderful parts of you that are evident here on SW

@Ghostinthemachine I do believe they came to appreciate me as a person.

@bijouxbroussard how could they not? There’s plenty to appreciate 🙂

@bijouxbroussard Thats what people tell me. They say “You’re kind…of crazy!” 🤪
