There have been many hardships in my life. An entire childhood spent living at The Children’s Home Society Orphanage in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a place where love, affection, devotion, respect and even the least of human considerations were never shown to us children. Many of the children raised in their care made their way to prison, became drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes or committed suicide. The few who did succeed did so with much difficulty. I too followed many of these same paths; but somehow, by some miracle, I managed to build a life for myself based upon the kindnesses of a few understanding, kind and caring people who crossed my path. I also learned to share those same kindnesses with my fellowman.
