my life is shaped by a lot of events, but the most powerful powerful was
somebody doing this kinda acts for my family, when I was 11 years old
we had a really really tough Thanksgiving where there was no money
and no food and
we wouldn't have starved, we always find a way to get something
but we weren't gonna have a Thanksgiving dinner that's for sure certainly not a feast of any sort
and my mom and dad at the time
were fighting like cats and dogs and
saying things that once you say them you can never take them back
you know what kinda stuff I'm talking about and my mom was screaming
at my father about how he couldn't even take car of his own family
it was horrible, and i have a younger brother a younger sister, i'm the oldest
so i was trying to keep them from hearing this conversation
and then a miracle happend, *** on the door, i'm the oldest, they were screaming
so I go answer and i answered the door, and i answered the door and standing there
this giant man an I was just a little boy and he's holding this huge box of food
and beside him on the ground was a black pot with an uncooked turkey in it
and he said is your father home
I said just one moment I was like
unbelievably euphoric and i thought this is a gift from god this is gonna change it all
this is gonna make my mom and dad happy, it's gonna be unbelievable
so i go and my father is screaming and my mother through a closed-door
to the bedroom door and i said dad dad there's a guy at the door, he said, you anwer the door
i said i did but he's got to see you
i kinda teased him, i said you gotta come, he said Fine,he made a last yell at her
and he walks to the door, i'm waiting there just
can't wait to see his face and my dad opens the door and this man was standing there with
this big box of food
and my father did not get happy he look to this man
he raised his voice to him and he said "look we don't take charity"
and he took the door and slam it at the man's face but the man was a good size
man he put his foot there
and smacked his foot down and said, sir, sir, this is not charity
everybody has tough times, somebody knows you're having a tough time
they want you to have a magical Thanksgiving I'm as the delivery guy
he said please take and my father said "we don't take charity"
and slam it again, this time the guy put his shoulder against it so he couldn't do it
my father stares at him, it's like this two men started to get this intense mode
and he was just trying to give a gift but I'm freaking and then the guy said something that
I'll never forget
moment I wish he haven't said but he found a way to
force my father, he's holding this thing, than he looked at me
then he looked to my dad and he said don't make your family suffer because of your ego
now my dad's level of energy increased
but he was also trapped you get it
so he took the food slammed it on the table and slammed the door at the man's face
without even thanking him
i didn't know what to do, a part of me wanted to cry a part of me was
crushed and i watch my father storm off
and went on back to screaming at my mother.
