I put my parents here, just because so many ask about them. I don't like them but I love them for giving me this life that I have lead.

For me, family is where there is truth, love, understanding, and exceptance of how you believe or how one leads their own personal life.

This is the kind of family I have, I just found out that my mother is dead and has died in 2015 at 93 years old. I have two sisters in America, but both didn't have the decency to tell me. Today is October 8 2019. I feel no grief or anger, just thankful I don't live in America with so many greedy and corrupt people and a government where freedom and fairness are lost.
