Having children and caring for them is the one thing in life that can enrich your life beyond any material thing.

I have often envied my brothers and sisters, friends and strangers for being able to have the chance to bring a child into the world, show it love and to breathe character into it's life.

It's a huge job and it doesn't pay you anything........
It's a huge responsibility and it's a life long task.

My mom told me this once.

You have children, you bring them up the best you can and then they tear your heart out.

Some people, by having kids when they aren't ready to care for them, do it backwards-

They have them, tear their hearts out and let someone else bring them up or care for them.

I don't have kids because I do not think I could be a proper role model, safe haven or hero to them.

Selfish?

Yes, and all the more reason to admire and put the people who do have children on a pedestal.

It just galls me to to see people who are supposed to be the protectors, advocates, supporters and parents to small children not using their bean.


Here in the U.S. some babies haven't been born yet and the parents have already picked out a profession, a college and the house they are going to live in....


Why can't some parents plan a few weeks in advance?

I really don't know, but my heart bleeds for these kids knowing the are going to grow up hampered by some knucklehead parents.

In closing, One media reporter was criticizing the government for not having top ranked schools in the gulf area.

He went on to say something like, "How can a poor kid get an education in an enviroment like that?"


You can tell that to every child who had a hunger for knowledge,
someone who asked, "Why?" over and over again.
Someone who looked at the horizon and thought "What's over there?" of looked into the sky and said,. "what's OUT there?"

They blame it on the government and the money spent, when it starts at home with love and hope invested.

Some of these kids got the short end of the stick.

They were born to a couple who don't care.
They are not encouraged to reach and then some
fricking hurricane really kicks their arse.

Just because life ain't fair doesn't mean you have to toss in the towel.


Sometimes you have to fight.

And when you do, you have a 50 percent chance of winning, and the loser???

No losers there, you went down swinging.
