I never fully understood the life of an orphan until I was forced into being one. You know GOD has plans beyond our control... the one's we can not control. Maybe that's why my mother taught me the Serenity Prayer as a youngin.
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen"
She must have known she wouldn't be around long. My father too. Well he didn't teach me the Serenity Prayer but he did teach me how to be strong and never give up. I guess that's part of the reason why I don't show emotion well. I can still hear him say, "Wipe those tears, go back and fight, Never let them see you sweat baby Girl..." . Those parents of mine. They sure had a plan for me. Thankful yet still figuring out this whole "Me" situation...
Take it or leave it. Blame it on my DNA.
