I am broke but it is going to be a good Christmas. My dream as a kid was to live out my life in or near the wilderness whenever I found it. I ended up working as a remote fire guard in the summer and cutting firewood in the winter. When I was 24 I returned to my home town of Prescott Arizona for a visit and met a who changed every thing. Twenty six years later we have 4 daughters and five grandsons . Two of our daughters are adopted and we have had a had foster children much of the time. We have four month old and three year old sisters that have been with us for the last three months. It is truly amazing the change they have made since they have come to with us.
I am convinced that there is nothing more satisfying than raising children that turn out to be well balanced productive s.
Over fifteen relatives have moved here since I came to Alaska. They will all be here tomorrow at one time or other.
I think back and realize that my life has turned out much better than I could have ever wished.
 
You don't sound broke to me, in fact you sound very rich indeed! :) Merry Christmas!
 
You sound like one of the richest men I have ever heard of! Being so fortunate, I hope you have taken a little time to offer a short prayer of thanks. Wish I could be as lucky and spend at least some of my life doing something I love, as you most obviously do! Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season!!! :cool: :D
 
Thank you. I give all the credit to my wife. She is truly amazing.She is the most encredabe mother I have ever seen.When she was 27 and I was 36 with two young daughters we took in a pregnant teenager from a remote indian village.This had sufferd unimaginable abuse through out her life.She became our daughter and lived with us untill my grandson was ten. My wife taught her to be a lady. My grandson is now 15 and is next to my wife my is my best friend.He will be soon taking college classes and wants to be a mecanical engeneer.If this guy who is intersested in my daughter ends up marring her it will truly be a storybook ending.
 
You are truly a wealthy man. To be able to say that you are completely happy with your life is a priceless treasure.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!
