You have a poet in your care, Dude.

But, Beware! She's exactly why you sometimes sit and ponder whether you have enough love left to love her.

I'd give my right arm for a chance to guide her. All you have to do is knock on her door and say "It's Me: DAD...!" and you're there.

Earn this. For the sake of all of us who'll never know what a hug from an adoring daughter feels like: Earn thst feeling. Just for us.

5 and whose Maggie Roche?

6 Whose Maggie Roche?!!!

Maggie Roche is the elderst of three singing sisters known, collectively, as The Roches.

She is a poet among musicians and a leader among sisters. Next time you're in a record store (do they still call them "record stores"?) take a look through the R section. Or, if the store is kewl, through the Roches section!

Maggie is the one with your eyebrows and facial expression!
