~ (~) ~ (Four Parts-Part #1) Dedicated In Love To My Little Sister ~ Tina Marie Haynes ~ (~) ~
I was born into a family that had their own struggle, and struggled through my early years and
the majority, of my adulthood... My mom, loving but fighting her own conditions passed away
when I was 10, in 1980, and my father had his own struggle with the drink, but then I met these
3 wonderful people, and I got Married. Into this wonderful family when I was about 29... My wife
had from a previous marriage, that had had its own struggles, 2 glorious and beautiful children...
and we always thought and willed to embrace each other and God love and life... We are apart
now, but are still open to this idea with one another...
We had a kitten that eventually had 3 litters of kittens, that my daughter brought home for us
one day... This little kitten, she was so adorable I felt, and I believed to be so truly precious and
needy and lonely and vulnerable and weak, but she walked right up to me and gave me this
gentle welcome of a weary meow... (She could barely walk up to me at the time, or even talk,
but gave it her all to embrace me with her life just the same...).
The people that owned her, we found out had had their own struggles, and just abandoned her,
and a survivor, and one of Gods precious creations, she was brought to us, and we nursed her
back to health, and she ended up giving us so much joy, and lessons of love...
