So very sad @methusalem, life can be so harsh to some yet they conquer the worst. If only more people can have that kind of inner strength, the world would be a different place. Your story reminds me of the saying by Thomas Edison - if we did all we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves. Lovely tribute to a true hero!
Thank you lizelle that he truly was. One of the kids of many in my life but he was exceptional.
