Will Of A Person

A Rabbi said “The Will of a Person shows his or hers personality.”

Does this mean that a person that is a good person and raises his child, he will have a good child?

The same personality maybe inherited by the child because he sees the goodness in his parent.

I know someone who adopted many years ago, a three week old child. She always wanted to be a mother and now her chance had come. A co-worker knew of a teen who did not want the baby and M got to adopt this darling little girl.

She became a single Mom and this is what she wanted. She and the child had a good life and as a teen, they traveled to many countries. The Mom and A had a loving relationship and she appreciated the life she had over the life she would have had.

I looked her up on the internet knowing the Mom’s name and it showed me some lines and It said she was deceased and survived by her daughter A and the Mom had been a PHD and was a professor in a college.

I looked up on the internet and I emailed her and she was so happy to hear from me. She told me all about M and what a loving friendship she had with her and mother and daughter relationship and that now she was engaged to be married and she hoped I would keep in touch on the internet.

She was my cousin, her Mom was my first cousin and we had grown up together living only 6 blocks away. My Mom and M’s Dad were brother and sister.

Life gets interesting by having the internet and how many folks you get to meet. Some are strangers and others can be relatives.

So the will of a person, me, through my personality of always wanting to learn and I found someone I knew. We shall be cousins from afar, but bound by knowing M, M was my cousin and this A is her daughter.
