I ask those whom I have knocked down in life to please forgive me for the bad things I did to you. I hold no grudges, nor harbor any animosity toward people who have hurt me or \"knocked me down\", in fact I pray to God that he will give me the ability to forgive and love you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is my story and I am telling the facts as I remember them. They are real. Sometimes when I remember them I cry, sometimes I can laugh, sometimes I recall the lessons, but the thing that dwells the most is the love that I have felt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThank you to my wife Ruby who has stuck with me through a great deal of hurt, especially before I became a Christian and learned to love her.\u003cbr\u003eI love all of my children and grand-children and I love all Ruby's children and grand-children who I consider to be my own.
