You did everything. and what did I do? I just sat back every night and at times early mornings to push a few tabs .. that’s it … and all that you gave never compared with what I could give. you often said ..’ what a wonderful family I have created’. no. I created nothing .. you .. all of you .. designed and created this family .. gave it strength and presence and prayer and blessings and I live and survive with all that I have received.”
