What a Christmas!!!, originally uploaded by marrngtn (Manuel).

I never thought I would have a daughter much less have a daughter that

can believe that all things are possible. The economy is bad, times

are hard but there is hope no matter what anyone has to say!!!!! We

have had hard times before and will have them again. The problem this

generation and the generation before has is either they didn’t learn

or didn’t want to learn the lessons of the past. I grew up in a house

that knew how to save and be frugal. We always had, just not the

best.

Thanks Mom and Dad for preparing me to live today.

Went to the game Saturday Night to honor my friend and classmate David “Nick” Lynch. I really enjoyed the game except for the ignorance, arrogance of ignorance, complete lack of home training and lack of citizenship of our youth in Prince George’s County that attended the Classic. It saddened me that Nick had touched so many lives and made a huge positive impact for “GOOD” versus the disrespectful behavior last night.

Happy Father’s Day to John Henry Arrington Sr. and John Henry Arrington Jr.

Yellow seemed an appropriate color to celebrate this father’s day. This is my first in 43 years without my mine. I pray that my daughter will have me in her life as long as I had John Henry Jr. in my life.
