I've learned ... Love is profound ... Beyond what you see, To tether the hearts Of a true family. Adversity comes ... And it's always a test, But that's when a family, Functions their best. Life can be trying ... If problems are tasked, But a family responds, To whatever it's asked. In bad times or good, And all that they do, A close family leans On their LOVE ... To get through. ** For my Mom, Dad, Bro, and Sis in these tough times. **

I changed my avatar to a recent photo ... the other was a promo shot for my upcoming CD release.

My two other kids in the right bottom corner, my son has his arms around his older sister. I have three kids (5 grandkids) from two marriages, divorced from both. I hadn't seen my oldest daughter for 23 years, so it was the happiest time of my life, to have all three kids with me at once - heaven!

Well, that's a small part of my family, but all that could make it to the reunion last year. I am in the upper left corner, with the light blue shirt, my dad on my left, mom to his left, my youngest daughter in front of me with black hair, (not her natural color, lol),

A rhyme that gets to the heart of the matter, family should always be a support through good and bad times. I know your family will love this as I do!
