My two daughters' (both over 50) comments on Fathers Day, made my day. My oldest daughter sent me a copy of the Robert Frost poem about a road less travelled. amd said that she has always admired me for being a person who consciously chose "the road less travelled."
My youngest daughter said that she has always admired me for my intelligence, my independent thinking, my gentleness, and my "hunanness" (in the sense of sharing who I really am and where I have come from without glossing over the unpleasant parts -- but also said that I have always been an impatient person. I could not have asked for a better Father's Day gift.

Many thanks!
If you're not familiar with it, here's an article about the history of that poem and what Robert Frost was actually saying (hint: it's not at all what most people think): [poets.org] Your daughter might find this interesting!
