And I fondly recall her saying to me. "I guess I cant throw the baby out with the bath water." I respectfully stand today on her legacy as I reach towards my own destiny. Finally. to the God that I serve and to my family who support me and love me dearly. my mother. my sister. my uncle. my nephew. havent we come a mighty long way? My maternal grandparents. who emigrated here freely from Ireland and from Germany. and yet my fraternal grandparents. completely the opposite. who came here forcibly in chains and centuries of bondage. Who would have thought that the cost had a price that would require my payment? A seed of hope. yet equally a seed of despair. a seed of opportunity. yet equally a seed of why I cant. a seed of love that was met with seeds of hate.
