You know, I understand this. I didn't...Melody,<br />You know, I understand this. I didn't know until much later in life how much my parents denied themselves for me. When I was a baby, my parents were pretty poor. My dad and mom worked in textile mills in NW Ga, and I found out when I was in my twenties that, when I was a baby, my parents could not afford to pay for a lot of formula and stuff AND buy basic food, so my dad skipped lunch at work every day. He was so ashamed of not having a meal to bring in with him that he would find a place to hide during the lunch break so he didn't have to explain why he didn't have a lunch with him. Put this on top of having our house burn to the ground when I was a kid, and less than a year later, having our car totalled in a wreck that was someone else's fault, and that kept my dad from working for almost a year, and life was hard.<br /><br />Of course, now they are in their seventies and are much better off, but I still get teary sometimes when I think about my dad saving his pride by going and hiding behind some equipment while everyone else was having lunch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
