Although I love both my parents dearly and share qualities passed down from both of them, I, too, feel I am most like my father. He loved and supported me in so many ways, but most importantly, with my writing career. He was the one who encouraged me to quit my management job with BellSouth in the early 1990s (when heads were rolling due to their divestiture and restructuring) to pursue the writing career I had always dreamed of. When I became a published writer, he was the first to read everything I wrote and the first to call me to talk about each article. I was fortunate to be able to take my mother and father, along with my husband and daughters, with me on several travel writing assignments, and his comments enriched my writing immeasurably. Although he passed away from melanoma five years ago at age 81, I still imagine I can hear his warm, sure voice from time to time, encouraging me to always pursue my dreams.
