Is it the end  ~ or is it the beginning   ?     Our parents~~* may they rest in Peace*~ have completed  thier  part ~of the *Cycle* of life   that has brought us  to this point~
  What we do from here on~~ shall set the way ~for our future generation ~of our children and grand children and so on~Do you think that we will be able to do as fine ..a job ..as they have done?
   I certainly do hope so ~~and  i hope that our children  remember thier great grandparents with the respect that they truly deserve~
 It is up to us  to continue    thier  memories ~by way of   bringing to mind the stories of the past about when we were growing up ~and how we lived  ~ as well as telling them about the things that we were taught~ and the expectation that our mother and father had of us to become respectable young men and women~
 Of course ~  The  fact  is~ that we werent anywhere near being *Perfect* but we  did respect our elders~and did the best that we could~and stood by  what we believed in~
 I remember   having to stand up in the bus~ and give up my seat~ if and older person got on  ~ And there were no questions asked~
 Also~We called the older folks  by mr.  or mrs.  ~ Unlike today   ...simply calling them by thier common name~
 I think that seeing   that some things  go full circle  ~ for example  ~Clothing Styles~ and some customs   ~ I feel that the same will hapen  with youngsters  ~ and we will have  a fine and respectful bunch of young people in the future~
