Like Father, like daughter

"Is what you want for yourself to become someone very different than me?"
-Flor Moreno, Spanglish


That I am becoming someone different from him is my dad's fear. My friends, my desires, my views are seemingly becoming more and more different from his. 


Lord, I am turning out to be quite different from my earthly father. It's frustrating sometimes. Because... I wish that I were understood.  But it's okay. Because I think you knew it'd be that way. And as long as you know me, I'm okay. 


But, I must be like you. I must be like you. 


p.s. I bet my dad wishes that I understood him!
