As long as it is any part of them, I don't care what I inherit. My parents are the most supportive, generous people I know. I had to laugh when recently my nephew saw a commercial for the "Grammy" Awards and was confused about why they gave an award to a Grammy. They were challenged at times and they are still here; there are so many things I regret saying or not saying. I see my mother in my daughter and I love that.
Interestingly I see in "him" his parents, and he knows it. Sometimes it can be a real challenge, because he too inherited their best, but also some of the older world ways that are very different than how I was raised.
It will be interesting to see what our children inherit, being children of divorce but also children of blended families that are sincere and working and supportive.
