Let us remember our own poverty first, not with the anger of the years since, but with acts of love and charity that protect a child or two from the pain and misery of our youth.

gratias mon frere. we had it tough and I think that allowed us to feel the needs of others and to do something good for them. In my long history of work, I felt privileged, blessed and lucky to do things to help others avoid the things we endured.
ReplyDeleteI cannot remember a single instance of being loved without judgment. I'm not whining; I'm just saying. As time goes on I remember things about my siblings as well, and how terribly they were treated. god bless us all.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were blessed with wonderful command of the language; it was so easy for them to use that skill to scare the shit out of us, to belittle our achievements, and to paint the idea of a horrible future for us. EG. my dad was convinced that i was Homosexual and that was bad; my mom told me that I would end up in a nuthouse (mental asylum) someday. None of my sibs ever judged me; not ever. I think that's why I survived and to some extent, thrived. Merry Christmas sweet creatures.
