By the time I came along, being the last of five kids, my parents were doing pretty well. I never knew hard times. But my dad still worked from 8 in the morning till 11 at night six days a week, and sometime much later. I worked for him for two or three years and had the same schedule. Sometimes I would watch Star Trek that came on at 7 and be a little late returning after supper and he would shake his head at me.
But early on they had tough times, and did not even know where the next meal was coming from, because my dad had operation that laid him up for a year. When he was sick he promised God that if he could ever work again, he would not stop lol. I think this is why he worked so hard, and loved ever hour of it. But he was sitting quietly in a back pew every Sunday.
