My daughter KaRynn surprises and delights me
I’m the mother of four sons and only one daughter. Growing
up a tomboy surrounded mostly by brothers, I was well prepared to be a
tough-and-tumble kind of mom—the kind that could play catch, rollerblade, and
wrestle with boys, and my sons would probably agree that I have, indeed, been
that kind of a mom. Raising boys has been mostly a “What-you-see-is-what-you-get”
experience—very fun, sometimes funny, and often very physical. No big surprises
there. On the other hand, being a mom of just one girl has been full of
surprises.
