Cheers

What gives me the feeling that I want to stand up and cheer? Just read the lines I've written below if you want to hear... It started with the love of family tradition... Getting "In House" lessons of our condition. My folks were working stiffs to say the least, But they did their bit to tame six beasts. When my Father at an early age passed away, I cried alone, for all the things that to him I did not say. My mother's pains were no little thing to us, As we watched her struggle with that cancer's puss. Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Brothers, and a Sister all, Have reminded me of times in life when their love broke my fall. Especially today, as I am at the time in life when I need to reflect, I can only applaud my FAMILY...for its teaching me of what LOVE means with RESPECT!
