I like you think how fortunate i am that my Dad got his family out and moved on...he did not have an education, could not read or write, but he loved his family, worked hard until his body no longer would and never took charity..his pride would not let him..I have not watched the movie yet but I will...I have to be ready to watch it mentally...thanks for sharing!
