Everyone has a father. Obama has Frank Marshall Davis.
My mother on the other hand saw me as GOD's punishment because I was a twin. I was 15 minutes younger than my sister.
I don't recall actually that my mother ever hit me, except one time when I was 16, but she sure punished me whenever she had a chance.
Does it surprise you that when my youngest brother called me and told me that she passed away (that was many years ago) I never shed a tear. My father's passing was a different story.
