As I drifted off, I realized that I had been sheltered all of my life with the love of a kind and caring family, with the familiarity of my surroundings, with the affinity of kinship and the support of sibblings and friends. I was nurtured and groomed with confidence and when all else failed I relied on my youth and stamina. I was rooted in the WORD and never had a reason to doubt it and was comforted by others who shared the same beliefs and morals.
