It's so true Alexis my friend, it is always grandmas and grandpas who utter these words of wisdom. My grandma told me when I was in my early teens 'Jennifer, with the use of only a candle, I search this entire planet to find a human being who is humane, but i need only use my one hand to count humane people who live within this human race.' Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
