One Thankful Man

More than 46 years ago in Evanston, C` Lee met a young lady in a gospel church. Two years later, after saying “yes” to him, they got married at that same church near Chicago. A few weeks later, B` Ann said “yes” again, and followed C` Lee to Wisconsin. Fourteen months later, she said “yes” again, and gave him a daughter named Joy. Fourteen months later, she said “yes” again, and followed C` Lee with Joy to Mississippi. She said “yes” again two years later and gave him their first son named C` Lee Jr. Again she said “yes four years later, and followed him with Joy and C` Lee Jr. to San Francisco. Two and a half years later, she said “yes’ yet again, and gave C` Lee their second son name Lonzo. After five more years, she said “yes”, and followed C` Lee with Joy, C` Lee Jr, and Lonzo to Sacramento. I must say that C` Lee was grateful that B` Ann continued to say “yes”. However, let it also be known that C` Lee has had his share of “yes dear”. 11012016 cj PS ( Sorry. I cannot fix this)
