"The Forgotten Man" is the title of a novel I'm reading now, by Robert Crais. This story made me think of so many wonderful things we take for granted and we forget to be thankful for.
The story is quite interesting and well written. The plot can be summarized like this: One morning at four, a private detective, Elvis Cole, gets a call from the LAPD informing him that a murdered man has claimed, with his dying breath, to be Cole's father, a man Cole has never met. The detective had tried many times before to find his unknown father and failed. Now he tries harder to find his father's murderer, and at the same time, find his roots and others answers he searched for all his life.
How difficult it must be for someone to grow up without one or both parents. Missing so much love and care. I feel so blessed that I was raised by a loving family at the cost of so many sacrifices. I can't begin to fathom the emptiness that a lonely person can go through. I imagine that if someone has never felt the warmth of being loved, could never love truly.
I just hope that I can share some of the love I received with all those around me.

From another bank,
The family stands as a warm embrace that always welcome us. With respect to me, I feel that my family endowed me with humor. Not that I am a funny guy, but I am into humor people .. we take things lightly and we express our thoughts with a big wide smile!!
God saves your family to you.
