sometime's I sit's...and sometime's I sit's and think's.

Hello,
For some unknow reason I started thinking about some of the thing's my Dad taught me while I was growing up.The way he did it was differnt to be sure but I never forgot them.When my sister and I were watching TV our Dad would come up and ask us what we saw,we would tell him what the show was about but that wasn't what he was looking for.He wanted to know what was going on in the background,he kept at it until we could tell him a person was walking in the back ground and a dog was running by.or thier were some people going into a store and someone was feeding the bird's in the park.As I grew up I knew he was teaching us to see beyound what the normal eye see's,to see beyound what a person say's or does as sometime's they are good people having a rough time.
Two of his other favorite's were,If wishes were horse's begger's would be rider's. You can't alway's have what you want or even need so do the best you can with what you have.That was a good lesson.
The other was You made your bed you gotta lay in it. This one took me a while to get.What this ment is I am accountable for what I do,and if I do something wrong I have to take what is due,that they would stand beside me but would not bail me out.
They taught us to see picture's in the cloud's,face's in the wood grain's,to enjoy looking at the star's and firefly's.
They taught me a lot about life before they died. not all of it was good or perhaps even right but they did the very best they could,they taught me how to live and how to die with dignity.
I will alway's be Thankful that they were my folk's.
