Hi Bill,
This is a really nice forum and that was a great story you told. I sometimes sit and think about how things when I was young too. Thankfully my parents were together...that is something so important for children. I didn't always recognize just how important that is.
We were quite poor growing up as well, but I was still happy for the most part. I lived a very sheltered life because my Dad was a very private person and very strict so he didn't allow us to do a whole lot. He wasn't always that way, according to my older sisters, he got that way after losing my brother, his one and only son.
Anyway, I too see alot of the terrible things in the world, and all the hate, violence, disease and suffering really hurts me. I would like to wish for people to learn tolerance and respect for others, and to learn to love one another as we are all God's children.
I pray that everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season, and a Happy, Safe, and Prosperous New Year!
God Bless Us All,
Love Marilyn & Rick
