The Big Three

Daddy taught me how to listen, to clean my shoes, and how to drive. From him, I learned self-respect, survival skills, and how to be strong. Mama taught me how to come out from behind the curtain; and in so doing, she taught me courage and how to be real. Grandma gave me so much love and taught me the value of me. Right or wrong, win or lose, her arms were always open for me. 05292017 PS Contest, Six Line Max, Rick Parise
