My word, what a story. Bless your heart. you are a kind person.

I come from a large family and we never ever end have heard our parents raise their voices to each other. I've lived a charmed life....

Thank you. I came from a family that drank and fought much of the time. When I was younger I surely didn't have my act together but as I had children I got it together. At times in my teens I was very jealous of my friend's families so I decided I would always open my heart to any child in need. I have dealt with kids who I couldn't help and that is heartbreaking. My oldest daughter was one of them. With the Grace of God I was able to help these two boys and I feel God gave me a gift of being able to have two more sons. You are indeed lucky to have had such good parents, God Bless them. I am always ready to help anyone who is willing to help themselves. You can't force help on someone who doesn't want it. Nor can you help someone who wants you to do it all for them. That was a lesson hard learned. I truly believe that we are here to help each other.
