I bless my parents every day for my early reading skills and opportunities.

I bless my Mother for being adamant that we go to, at least, Catholic Grade School. I bless Dad for working his a$$ off to pay for it. No better elementary education exists. Even a lazy a$$ like me, was two grades ahead going into high school.

I just wish I had recognized how good it was a lot earlier.
