You are right the importance of creating memories through spending quality time with our children. Too many of our children are experiencing a lack of emotional and financial support. Don't forget that if a woman is single and raising children, she has provide both.<br /><br />I took my daughter to the local science museum a few months ago and had an encounter that made me a little sad. My daughter was playing with an exhibit when a little Mexican boy shoved her out of the way. <br /><br />The boy's father came over, apologized, and delivered a lecture to his son that I will never forget. He got down to his eye level and explained to him that he was never ever in his life to put his hands on a girl again. That girls are meant to be loved and protected by men, and anything less was unacceptable.<br />Let me tell you - I almost cried (for a whole bunch of personal reasons).KSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594832284191260116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-82405936059633369302009-07-03T14:40:35.824-05:002009-07-03T14:40:35.824-05:00Anyone who makes a deliberate effort to insure tha...Anyone who makes a deliberate effort to insure that their children survive will prosper. Whatever class and whatever nationality who follows this method will keep their family moving.<br /><br />What We Blacks have is a sense of entitlement. Other groups especially immigrants know they are not going to be part of society right away. So they pride themselves on skills that pay the bills and then education. Blacks are no different from any other American family where they think somehow they will be provided for because there will always be a job. <br /><br />So through deliberate effort are by exclusionary circumstances bloodlines are maintained. Blacks have just enough freedom or the illusion thereof that they don't see a reason to concentrate and make sure they survive.FreeMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-28123036803790090262009-07-02T23:24:52.669-05:002009-07-02T23:24:52.669-05:00Well said.

Sure, I provide for him financially, but more than material things, I want to be able to impart to him some semblance of good sense. And I would to get to know him, and for him to get to know me.<br /><br />Last week just he and I spent several days together out of time, and I was amazed at how much I found out about him in that short time. And I'm sure he now sees me in a different light. We got to bond, but in doing so, we also created memories that he can pass on to his children, the next generation.<br /><br />There is an old Native American saying, memory lives in the blood. In other words, what happens in this generation, can still be evinced in later generations.Max Reddickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360630810931410487noreply@blogger.com
