I am currently updating my story, Commonwealth of Souls, so it is in draft form and not shown. I will post when I have completed it.
My Belief
"The value of humanity can be found in the way we proceed through life; the way we go or do not go to war; the way we hate or love our neighbor; the way we abuse or cherish our children, and, most importantly, the way we disregard or value nature and all the beautiful creatures sharing this planet with us. Respect and appreciation of nature and of all life itself is the foundation upon which a kind heart stands."
"Happiness is important. When you're happy your soul's thirst for light is quenched. But sadness is also important, as it allows for down time and contemplation, and, without sadness, how could we recognize happiness."
These are just two of the photo's my cousin Teddy's wife, Chris, took at our recent family reunion. She did a spectacular job and I cannot wait to see the rest of them. It was a very special day for my mom, as she had not seen her nephew in over 30 years. I hadn't seen Teddy in over 35 years and we were all looking forward to meeting Chris. We were friends on Facebook, but it was so nice to finally meet her in person. She is very special and both Teddy and Chris were the life of the party. The pleasures of this day exceeded our expectations. My only regret is that my dad and my Aunt Lee (my mom's sister), who had both passed away a few years ago, were not there with us enjoying the reunion. As for my mom, she was beaming with happiness and pride, and hugging her nephew was like hugging her sister too.
