I think it's fair to posit that some of us reap what our parents sowed. <BR/><BR/>My mother often shamed me with the phrase "nobless oblige," which in our household clearly meant that we must give back to others for all that had been bestowed upon us.<BR/><BR/>Many of us lucked upon relatively good fortune because our ancestors went to considerable effort and suffered great hardships to relocate to a country they viewed as brimming with the kinds of opportunities they craved for their children and their children's children. <BR/><BR/>When I look at the state of things today, I wonder if they would consider their sacrifices worth it.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18171692.post-72898187420427347282007-08-29T16:02:00.000-04:002007-08-29T16:02:00.000-04:00"Geneviève said...
