[Huck]

This rings true to me. My story in a nutshell: My parents were neglectful. They also had economic problems. A few times I was sent from our home in the northeast to the Deep South to live with my Grandma. Once when 6, again when 10 and then again when 12. I don't want to knock my parents. But it is just a fact that the best lessons I learned came from my Grandma. She was TOUGH. But the key lessons I remember I learned from her. About saving money. About being a man. About not complaining. About getting on in the world. All her training was practical training. She packed a lot of value into our time together, because she knew how desperately I needed it. Grandma was laid to rest two years ago in Meridian, Mississippi. I miss her and I think about her a lot. I hope she's proud of me.

I'm sure she is Huck. From what I have learned about you here at FR, you are a fine man.

It is my fervent wish that my 5 Grandkids speak of me as you speak of your Grandma. That in itself would give meaning to my life.

I know one day your grandmother was watching over you.
