What followed was me on the streets on my own from about fourteen on.

It is too bad that the lessons we learn the most from often come way too early in life.

As tough as that was, look at the man that you are today. Perhaps it was a 'lesson' that prepared you for the trials and battles that you fight today. I, for one, am glad to know you and proud to call you FRiend. Thanks for all you do to make this a better America for all of us.
