Americans, as One, working together. White, Black, Indian, Mexican, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Muslim, Republican, Democrat, Gay, Straight it makes no difference, everyone is for America. They do not understand the American Spirit! Terrorize us, and we will bounce back!

On May 1, 2000, while working on the rear axle of my Ford Taurus, a freak accident occurred. While pulling on a crowbar, it jerked and my very own elbow broke my tibia and fibula simultaneously. I lay on the ground for what seemed like hours, yelling for help. This was before the proliferation of cell phones, so I had no way to get help. Two neighbors, on a walk with their dog, heard my cry for help. They instantly came to my aid, calling 911. Not only that, my very own "Ex-wife" came to the hospital to comfort me during this horrific injury. This is kind of people in my country. Trump that!

I don't care what anyone says about my country, the United Sates of America, there is nowhere else in the world I would trust with my life.  Where else can you be born and know that if you are harmed, your neighbors, whom you don't even know will come to your aid?  Sure, Europe, Israel, Japan are candidates... but in this country, you can believe anything you want.  Build your own business.  Live wherever you want. Even leave to another country if you prefer.  In this country, a very, very small percentage of our citizens are murderers, but even they are full of rights before they are tried and convicted.  I love this country no matter how bad a few can be.

Our children and grandchildren are proof G_d loves us and gives us another chance. They assure we will not die. A piece of us will move on, and hopefully a little smarter than we were.

Time can be such a cruel, cruel monster. I sit and think about all those things I would have changed if I could but Time says no...it's too late. Regret and Time walk hand in hand teasing me to desperately tell the young not to make the same mistakes. But they won't listen. They are young and believe they will live forever, just like I did. So I digress and just look forward.

Sitting here looking out at the yard I wonder just how many times G-d will allow me to anticipate warmer days. I seem, over the years, to just sit back and have the faith it will happen. It always does. I love summer with it's sunny rays on my face. The many bike rides I plan. The rain that cleanse the earth, and sometimes myself. It's almost like a rebirth in a way. I wish it would last forever, but alas, then I'd never be able to sit and look out the window and anticipate it again.

Some of the things G_d has blessed me with over the years: Parents that cared for me. Marrying the love of my life. Being filled with the Holy Ghost March 18, 1977 and being baptized in Jesus' name 30 days later. Having 4 wonderful sons. I was there for all their births and I love them more than life. A wonderful job at a company I love and respect. A beautiful daughter in law that means the world to me. Two grandsons that I love so much they take my breath away at times!
