I met a older man of origin I didn't know who shared some wisdom with me a long time back. As we sat on a bench looking out over a park he told me his story. He pointed out a large group having a good time across from us. He said my wife passed about from cancer about forty years ago. Before she passed she told me something I have followed from that day until now. Do what is good for you, and good for others. Live life as a adventure. When something excites you give it your passion. Shortly after I found out a girl nearby was pregnant. Her family had thrown her out and she didn't have any place to go. I took her in, and after about two months, married her so her baby could have a name and a father. We have had our up's and downs. But she gave me five children. She is over there with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I started a business shortly after we got married and it has prospered. All of my children have enjoyed the fruits of my labors. So never turn away from someone or something that interest you. Follow your heart and follow your dreams. Big Tree 4/28/12
