When he lay out，I just said "Lord, what am I going to do with all these kids by myself?"
And I just said "all the small amount of money for food, cause everything had to come out of the small chick that I was given."

How did you give back?

Well, naked bones with tenses a pound and I would go to store and get 10 pounds that about lima beans, black-eyed peas, something to boil for every day in the week.

So, one of them soon laughed "He did need black-eyed peas because he is so mean."

Oh, well, that’s certainly no remember ever being hungry and you know, we always love Christmas and I cannot remember one Christmas that I didn't feel like I was the luckiest kid in the world, Even though now I realize, we had hardly anything in terms of money. How did you hold all that together?

Well, you know, we got one sick day a month, and if I was sick I would still go to work. I was saving those days for Christmas, and at Christmas time, and then they would pay me for those days, and you know what run for first these rich peoples. They would clear out their children's toy chests, and they would take all these nice toys to the Salvation Army. And I would go there, and I would get me a huge box and I will go around and pick out nice toys, and I would give back then a couple of ducks, and then I will use other for fruit and for food, and so we seem like we had a big Christmas, but I never did tell you it was a Santa Claus, cause I said that I cannot give no man credit for not work.

I know I speak for the rest of the kids who aren’t here, and tell you how much we love you, and how much we appreciate the sacrifice that you went through, and the guidance and we appreciate you teaching us, and I think it's helping us all be better parents.

You know, my whole heart was my kids, and the Lord blessed all of them. And I'm so grateful.
