I think Charles Kingsley, from the 1800s put it Best when He penned Come, and Strong within us Stir the Vikings Blood Bracing Brain and sinew Blow, Thou Wind Of God!... Blood - The Blood Within... All Connected by The Blood... Family, Connected by Blood... Family Strength, thru The Blood... Thats a Kickin Ass Fact, right there!... Ever notice how a lotta Families have Grandchildren thatre so Damn similar to their Grandparents Ya feel as if a Generation is Recyclin Itself, Rejuvenated and Ready to Kick Ass... I see It, All the Time - Even in My Own Family... Some that are just Kick Ass Warriors, in Everything They Do... Makes Me Proud of My Ancestors, My Kin, My Clan, My Family Name, My Family Honor... Makes Me Proud... And Ya know, a Lotta Families say, OH, Were ALL Blood - My Parents and Us Children - Were ALL Blood... Ill bet Most All of Yall say that, too, huh?... - Hell, We did, for Years... No More - And Heres Why... - Years Ago, My Brothers, Sisters, and I were ALL visitin My Mother on a Weekend, just sittin out back, on the Rock Patio, under the Pecan trees, with Her Lush Gardens, listenin to the Waterfall, drinkin Beer and sippin Whiskey, and just Talkin bout All the Love in the Family, even among Cousins and In Laws... My Mother said (And Mind Ya - She was a Little Spitfire, French Indian and Irish, takin No Guff from Anyone), Well, Im so Happy that Were ALL Blood, cause I Couldnt Ask for Better Kids... My Younger Sister (And Shes even Meanern a Sidewinder in Moltin Season - She was the President of Our High School Rodeo Club, Beatin Out All Us Guys when it came Time to Ridin those Bulls and Broncs - And Hell, sure nuff Smartern a Cuttin Horse) - She said, No Mama - Youre ALL Wrong there - We Aint ALL Blood - Sure, Me and My Brothers and Sissys (We call All the Girls in Our Family Our Sissys), Were ALL Pure Blood, but Youre ONLY Half-Blood!... My Mother got Pissed Off, stood Up at the table, and said, What the Hell are You Talkin About? - Yall are ALL the Blood of Your Daddy and I - We are ALL Pure Blood!... To which my Sister retorted - Mama, See? - We have the Blood of Daddy in us, and We have Your Blood in us - A Mixture of Both of Yall - So Were ALL Pure Blood - But You Only have Half of Our blood in You! - So Youre Only a Half Blood to Us, Were ALL Full Blood to Each Other!... I swear, We Were Laughin and Chokin, Slappin Our knees, Hardern a Blacksmiths Hammer on an Anvil, Rollin outa our Seats like a Tumbleweed in a Tornado, it was That Damn Kick Ass Funny!... My Mother was Reddern a Fresh painted Barn, and Fumin like a Maverick in Matin Season, Tethered to a Post, It was So Damn Funny... And thats The Way Ya gotta Be, in Family - Tell the Kick Ass Truth the Way It Needs to Be Told... Mama was pissed but She too Laughed, cause when Family Laughs with Itself, Aint No Way for ALL of Family NOT to Join In on the Laughter... Hope Yall are Kickin Ass in Yours, and Enjoyin Every Laugh that comes Along... ~ Hawk ~
