Born the youngest of 15 children, life was hard for my Dad. Some of his siblings were in their 20's and had children of their own. His Mother, Martha, loved them all but his father was a heartless, selfish and brutal man, but that did not reflect on the man he grew up to be. He worked long and hard hours, he as loyal, faithful and loving all his life with a sense of humour and fun. His soul was in his eyes, he didn't have to speak, the eyes said it all and his smile would blind as it lit up the room.
