Separated soulmates are eager to connect
I have dark hair and an olive complexion. My kids' dad is pale and has light hair.
Our two daughters take after their dad.
One day, just the girls and I went to a family event. A woman we'd never met before asked, "How come you girls are light? Is your daddy fair?"
My 5-year-old daughter Becky replied, "Yeah, he is -- most of the time."
Oh snap! We're all kin beneath the skin.

Dear Proud: ... And it's Becky, in for the win. Thanks for the smile.
