our travels to this point

[one1]

I have a interjection i would like to add.you know today i got kinda emotional coming from the grocery store.My usual bout of self pity and bitterness at our situation in life.And I thought of my father,The whole time i grew up and later as an adult,I had never seen this man cry.And he had lot's to cry about he had lost more than half of his brothers and sisters to murder's.he had a very large family too.he was a very soft spoken man. always worked 2 job's as long as i can remember.

The only thing i ever knew him to do wrong was to every now and then he would call my mother and she would go and he would have stashed a box out by the dumpster at the restaurant he worked at.And later he would tell everyone that he had done that but he did it to feed his family,and he knew it was wrong.

I really deep down believe that his generation was the last of Proud Men and Women.there is always the exception but in my opinion it is getting very rare to see this type of strength and pride.And I know he did wrong and some will point that out. but it is like this "who is without sin let him cast the first stone"just wanted to add this since it was on my mind.
