The connection of languages, beautiful. Beautiful poem, too. I, myself only had about a year of Latin. It came in a package with Greek and Greek mythology. I picked it because of the amazing stories in Greek mythology.

Did I mention I love this poem?

My mother had 8 years of Latin and remembered it her whole life!

I think you Excelled at Latin because it is a logical construct and you are logical.

I had several years of Latin.

I know your amazing mother knew several languages, but I never knew about the Latin. Eight years is a lot of Latin. I never knew you took Latin either. What piqued your interest in it?

It was logical and the clear root of our language. Kind of like math in its constructs. How did u do at math?

I never made it to either of those classes. You had brains, looks and emotional iq. Pretty powerful!

You’re very kind to say that but after A,B,C,D, I still have to sing the alphabet song in my head to know what order the other letters come in. 🤔
