Born and raised Quote by T.R. Graves
““Having been born and raised in ‘The Sportsman’s Paradise’, I had an instant longing for Daddy. When I was hurt as a little girl, I would curl up in his lap and he would rock me. Figuratively knocking me to my knees, I suddenly - fiercely - wanted Daddy to hold my hand and assure me I was going to get through this. Seeing Dr. England’s clenched jaw and look of sympathy and knowing Daddy’s reaction would have been similar did little to help the ache. - Allison La Crosse””
