This I Believe-Personal Legacy



Did you hear today's "This I Believe" segment on NPR? It was wonderful and very moving. A new mother, who lost her own mother at the age of five, talks to her infant daughter about some of her "small beliefs". She believes the greatest rock band is U 2. ( though I must humbly disagree, it is definitely Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band) She talks about why she always drives in the right lane and other small details of her life, such as the posters she had on her wall as a teen. Do you know these things about your mom or dad? There are so many wonderful questions to ask. The answers might surprise you!
