A Dream Fulfilled

I was born in Houston, Texas in 1948 to very good parents. My dad was a man of his word and highly respected in our community. My mother was a deeply religious woman who did much for people, and was regarded as a saint by those who knew her. Of course, that meant that every Sunday morning, she awakened me, saying, "It's time to get ready for church!" The older I got, the more I resented it.
