My mother told me, as a child, I can't pay for you to go to school, but I expect you to get a good job. She said I cannot watch your children, but I expect you to go to work. (She had Hodgkin's lymphoma) She said she couldn't give me a down payment for a house, but expected me to raise my children in a home. She couldn't do a lot for us, but she gave advice. And the will not to depend on anyone. She gave us the will not to be lazy or take advantage of others. She gave us the will to respect others and not to judge those who may be less fortunate (because it could be us).
So, on the eve of my upcoming 49th (next week) I want to make sure y'all know that even tho we get a birthday every year, it's because of those who came before us, suffered hard, before us is the main reason that we are even here.
It's in their honor we are the best we can possibly be.
I only hope my children are working hard and plan to have a life even better than the happiness I have right now. Peace.
