Children are the Greatest Gift
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? Without a doubt the greatest gifts I have ever been given are my four sons. I love my children because I can see so much of myself in them. Even the things that annoy me the most about my boys I totally own. I would like…

Maximum Capacity
Our homeless friend seems to have found accommodations more to his liking. Both of my older sons are content to live on their own. So The house just has me, my wife and our two adult disabled children. At this point in my life that seems like enough. When we are all in the house…
