    Prologue

    A young man doesn't live up to his father's expectations. His father is into sports, particularly football. The young man wasn't into sports, he was into knowledge. During his senior year he took college level classes hoping to start the University as a sophomore. His reluctance to follow his father's suggestion about playing football will cost him.

    It seems that the box has created much interest. Okay I'll tell you what was in the box. His grandfather continued a hoppy that his father started, saving coins, particularly;y gold and silver coins. The box was hidden by his grandfather. His eldest son, who inherited the farm, tried to get his dad to sell the farm. The grandfather was afraid if he knew about the coins he would sell them as well. The chest was hidden., when the time came for his grandson, who he was very close to, needed the money, he would give it to him.

    What is in the box is a mystery. When he told me what happened, I ran away. It was too spooky.

    Chapter 1

    Jim and Randy had been friends since the 8th grade. At 18, they became lovers. Graduation would be in June of the coming year, and plans were made to go to the same university. As in every year since they became friends, Halloween was a holiday for them. At first, they would dress in costumes and do the door to door trick or treat. In the last four years, they joined a group of kids that would patrol the streets, protecting those scary monsters with their bags of candy. They remembered those kid

    Love and responsibility. Many say "I feel sorry for that or this, then walk away, no responsibility." Not my attitude, I use mob stories to highlight that attitude.

    You are welcome. I like stories that end on a positive note. Although that isn't always possible in life, not is possible in stories

    You are correct, those who have grown up in a home of hate, will then to drift to those that offer hope and love. I don't know or are aware of hate being passed on from parent to child, maybe I grew up in a loving family. I do know of class mates that didn't grew up in a loving home, I was just that more of aa friend to them. Thankfully, there were only a few. I didn't know any one who was abused, until later in life.

    Chapter 12

    We, who have had the pleasure of growing up in a loving home, tend to have a loving attitude toward our fellow man. We also develop an intense hate towards those who take advantage of others. Philosophy class, freshman seminar.

    Chapter 12

    It was Easter when Sis called and said Mom was in the hospital. She said she seemed to give up on life. All she talked about was Dad and how she would meet him soon. And soon it was; within a month, Mom joined dad. I missed my parents. It was Mario who told me that Mom and Dad had led a good, full life. They always told my sons how proud they were of their family. They said they were more than blessed with their children and their families. How many grandparents live to see their great-grand

    A lot of our instincts, behavior patterns are based on our animal drives. Basically we are another form of "animal", many of our behaviors are seen in other animals.

    You're right. Generally in a long, loving marriage, when one partner leaves this plane, the other soon follows.

    The trip back from Holland was fun, fishing, the clean smell of the ocean, the comradeship, a great mini-mini cruise.
