I'M NOT A TRUCK DRIVER!

(This is a letter to my Dad.) Dearest Dad, I know you’re proud. I know it’s comforting to you. I know how you feel about it. But, here’s the thing…I’m not a truck driver. I am a well-educated, well-read, literate WOMAN with an expansive vocabulary and many skills. Some of my skills include food service, equipment operator, educator, big sister, pipe layer, writer, receptionist, office worker, and (yes) driving trucks of many descriptions. This is a sample of what I DO. This is not WHO I am. This is a collection of parts of my complete BEING. So, please, when you introduce me, “this is my very talented daughter, whom I love very much and am very proud of, Rosa,” will be fine. Thank you for loving me just the way I am. Your loving daughter, Rosa
