Thank you! Mama Lacie tried her best before she died to give me several acres of land, as her father had done for her decades earlier. I grew up watching the disdain her brothers and sisters had for her becuase of that, and I had to turn it down. And seriously, she was the gift.

When I was younger, it was a hard lesson for me to learn. I felt so much that I did not deserve anything and did not feel right accepting gifts. My first stepmother taught me that the real gift is for the giver when they get to feel the elation of making a difference in someone else's life.
