A simple man with nothing but love in his heart for his family.

The doctors separated my parents and questioned them for hours because, 'No child breaks both arms by accident in a week' I was blithely unaware of the trauma they went through - but I cried when we got home and Mum threw my roller skates away! They never would buy me another pair!Anita Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068890701803582595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806526271153996991.post-82848527041116273162010-09-10T07:15:52.339-04:002010-09-10T07:15:52.339-04:00Thank you, everyone, for sharing your own experien...Thank you, everyone, for sharing your own experiences and thoughts. Strong and caring people, regardless if it's our family or someone we know, make and shape who we are eventually down the road.

I was one of her presenters for her conference. I admire her talents, her wit (yes, even her wet noodles and awards LOL)and her kindness and consideration. It's obvious, after reading this post, she learned these traits from her parents. I believe they're what made her so successful. I believe someone said "If you treat people with respect, you'll earn their respect." Lea treats everyone with respect and I know everyone here at MuseIt Up Publsihing respects her.Roseanne Dowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473329969019245459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806526271153996991.post-65828861405266476912010-09-09T15:50:53.070-04:002010-09-09T15:50:53.070-04:00Lea, your Dad sounds like he was cut from the same...Lea, your Dad sounds like he was cut from the same cloth as my grandmother. Sadly my parents were not that strong. <br /><br />Nonnie died when I was eleven. She gave me the wellspring of unconditional love that is the foundation I have used to build on. She died when I was eleven. I learned later she should ahve died six years sooner, but knew I needer her moore than she needed to pass into the arms of my Grandfather, a man much like your father and the love of her life, who's died thirty years sooner. <br /><br />She knew my life would have been unbearable without her. Thank you Nonnie. Not a day goes by when I don't miss you...and Thank you Lea, for being the woman you are, for being the publisher you've become and for providing the oasis to so many of us in this turbulent world that surrounds us.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866209826449646004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806526271153996991.post-91493733790988145632010-09-09T10:16:58.003-04:002010-09-09T10:16:58.003-04:00What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your parent...What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your parents! The thing that grips my heart is that not all children have such loving fathers and mothers. Those of us who do have a very special gift from God and we should never forget it.
