How could I ever forget... The years of carpool rides in 'My Wan' with the 70s and 80s music blaring from the speakers. The trip to Germany and Italy with Ingrid, Doris, and Missy, barreling across Europe in a rented Mercedes, (my very first overseas trip, which put the travel bug in my soul forever.) The way she and my father could rival each other in 'assertive swim meet parenting.' The way she made me feel smart and special. The total lack of pretense -- no airs, no dissembling, just pure unadulterated Ingrid, in my heart, forever.
