TEXAS BORN AND BRED! My Grandmother once told me, "....you come from strong stock, from men and women who have sufferd but were stronger for it, men who were willing to die for what they believed. So when you are down like you are now show the blood that runs in your veins get back up and be a man. A real man is not the one that can whupp all comers but the man that can take a whuppin and get back up and be willing to fight again."
That was during some of the darkest days in my life, I have not forgotten what she said. She told me that TEXAS made her tuff as nails. I really did not know what she meant then but I do now.
