Thanks for your kind reply

When I was 12 living a suburb of Los Angeles my folks would go to Las Vegas for a couple of days leaving my sister of 14 and I alone in our home together.
I knew how to cook, clean cut the grass, sew, do the dishes, laundry and nearly everything else I needed to take care of myself along with my sister.
We enjoyed their faith that we’d take care of each other and carry on like they’d taught us.
My father also taught me how to hunt as a kid in rural Michigan and I have never been afraid. I have since i was 10 how to use a weapon like any tool as necessary.
I am no different than so many other kids in the world whose folks taught them self reliance.
God bless you Mam.
Take care and Always be safe.
