Drivingforce, this is directed towards you. Kind of goes with your post. When I was growing up, I didn't have a great life, just the opposite. My father was in jail and my mother gave me up into foster homes at 3 months old. The foster homes back then had dark secrets that I don't care to discuss. Anyways, when I was growing up, I got shuffling foster home to foster home and became a bitter person. One thing I always wished for, was a family to be a part of. I was basically going to be a statisic. After so many years of being on my own, I gave up hope on having a family. In 1990, I met an angel, her name was Zina. She gave me hope once again and loved me more then I could ever imagine before that. We had two children and the rest is history.
Cherish a woman that is your soulmate, she will complete your circle of life. I am trully blessed to have the family I have. I hope God blesses you with that joy.
