    The Midwest Fall..
    ajay says (30 Sep '11)

    It reminds me so much of my dad. He was  coal miner in Southern Illinois. His mine shut down in 1993. I just got done with LPN school the spring of 1993. Passed my state boards then my world fell apart. I kept thinking, well i got this far. I can't expect no more from my parents. It was hard as hell i just made something of myself. They lost it all that year....

     

     

    That song in ways hits home and hurts. People got no idea how shit rolls when you got nothing and nothing to loose.

Listen here---my Parents both came to this Country --WAY after the BS fighting with each other BS----
the only reason that i was born and raised in Detroit---is because the Copper Mines shut down in the Upper Peninsula----and my Dad and Mom were forced to come to Detroit for jobs---so all of us kids were born and raised there----my Dad retired -----ironicaly(sp--i know) enough---9/11/01----lost everything---all of his pension---401K---everything---
within one week---my Parents were homeward bound to the UP----that's where they are from----
What i would give to win the Lotto and just be able to take care of them-----
Sorry---rambling

get in. what am i? friend, lover,
confidient....
