Mother and Dad brought up 8 kids. Father was a craftsman and agriculturist. We generally had a great time and love and simply enough cash to get by. We had the ordinary hardships you would expect with such a vast family. Mother and Dad are gone now and we as a whole miss them. I remember something my Dad would state when things got intense. "The graveyards are brimming with individuals who might want to have your inconveniences."
That was his method for saying remember your good fortune.
