I recently replied to a "non-political" post..& explained I came from an abusive, dysfunctional family..but at 1 point was left in the CARE of a LOVING, "normal" Family. That time was too short.
To this day, I thank God for that Family..they showed me what is POSSIBLE. What LOVE can do.How goood comes, from being a goood person.
They showed me the difference between dysfunction & compassion.
& that glimpse, that EXPERIENCE, of real, normal, Family LIFE, allowed me to break the cycle,with my own child.
Thanks, God.
That is how I feel about Obama.
They showed the Best *We* can be..
Loving, strong, Compassionate, Honorable, KIND.
The awwwwwsome Lives WE can LIVE, if we keep our Hearts in the RIGHT PLACE.
Thanks, God.
I miss them so much. But THANKS, GOD.
