I'd rather give than recieve, I think my nature is one of service rather than to lead, I do better as a right hand man, busy work keeps me occupied, I feel better hosting a party rather than one given to me as the center of attention...maybe its how I was raised, we didn't have much money and material things but you had clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and plenty of food on the table, and Mummy was always concerned about people coming to visit and hope she was a good hostest and her children were well behaved....I always think about this, and to me this was more valuable than any amount of money and I knew what it was like to do without, so you kinda pick up on people in this scenario who are trying hard just to make ends meet for whatever reason, that maybe they or their children will remember these were the best times of their lives and will construct them into better persons for it, I know I am a better person inside for what I was taught by my parents, and thats maybe where in actuality I'm very shy and modest. Any one who knows me, knows its hard for me to walk up to someone and start chatting, it's just easy if I can show a hidden talent, and maybe suprise someone with a little help, and then back down under the bleachers and take joy in their happiness....we have 2 adopted twins, and I hope this instills into them for when they grow up, soon to adopt more with a little luck, my limit would be 5, My dream would be 10...I am 7 of 7 kids, my mother was 7 of 7, and my dad was 15 of 21...bigger just seemed to bond us closer together...Mummy always said life is like a road trip, a few bumps in the road, maybe a flat tire, meet a few people, but all in all, a nice ride!....some of her best friends were phone calls with the wrong number!
ps...I have always called her Mummy, it was our own bond, and she knew it was from me if I wrote this on the envelope...you couldn't fool her without it!
