I'm writing to future generations, those descended from my siblings and cousins. I didn't have children. My parents & siblings never had interest in Family outside of their own. Getting together for Birthdays and Holidays we didn't do.

If you're reading this, I want to explain the meaning of life. It's simply "Family". I didn't build one, it was the biggest mistake of my life. 3 men came and went in my youth, but I was a fool and let them slip through my fingers. Nothing else matters without Family.

If you're a descendant, know that if you too have parents that inherited the lack of interest in getting together with family, DO NOT marry into a likeminded family, marry a family that is close.

There's good in everyone, including my/our family, I loved each one of them. I worked hard, did for others and kept friends for over 40 yrs.

I lost my home and everything in it Dec. 13, 2023. 3726 Chapel Hill Rd, Ga 30135 to a house fire. My dog Trixie and cat Mr Bingsley were lost in the fire. I never fully recovered from the loss. My love for animals of all kinds was top priority in my life. I spent 2.5 yrs as an Animal control officer for Douglas County Ga and 2.5 for Fulton Co. I'd never recommend that job to anyone. You see the worse in people in that field. Prior to that I'd spent over 20 yrs self-employed making commercial signage. One thing is still left that I did. There's a huge rock on Chapel Crossing in Chapel Hill Sub. that has their logo sandblasted in it. I did that myself. I was proud to leave something I did so well behind.
