wow
i remember my dad telling all of us how he had to beg for food from the churches and bakery. his dad died when he was just 12 and leaving 9 kids. he only went to the 5th grade. his first new shoes were given to him by the American Tax payers. Thru the United States Navy in 1943 along with his first new clothes ever. He said a nice warm wool suit and jacket. He would steal powered eggs because he had never tasted much of the food they would feed him in the Navy. We could never go barefoot in our lifes we each had 3 pairs of shoe a year. one for church one for school and one for playing. He was the most hard working man I have know in my life and the most honest. I believe that hardship makes a better person.
My mother came from a family with 13 children 6 of them was a family my grandparents adopeted when there parents up and left them in the dead of winter in Rhode Island. They had no money and no jobs or food they just left them. My moms family had plenty. My grandfather was very well to do. So they took them in and put them all through school.
I feel to this day that i was blessed with the most careing and loving parents. one could have.
