Thank You

But, it doesn’t have to be.  Along with all the usual baggage I dragged into adulthood from crummy teenage years and several dashed hopes, I also claimed valuable relationships, gentle lessons, and unspeakably wonderful role models (could I sound more in love with my family?)  They have helped to shape me, to heal me, and love me through very hard times.  We are, none of us, perfect, but we’re so good for each other.  And I am so grateful.  My heart is very full as I say:

Thank you, Papaw
