The Beginning: My oldest brother, Michael
The beginning testimony shares violence, abuse, and hope but my testimony will follow which shares love, faith, and miracles. My mother, father and little sister included in our testimony have died and they are never forgotten. Please, share with friends. True Story!
My dads uncle and relatives were priest and nuns in Catholic Churches. Dad fell in love with our mother and she was not a Catholic. He married her anyway and he became the black-sheep. My mother did become a "loyal" Catholic and she loved God. My father did not want a child! Michael was the first child born out of nine children! My father carried a lot of pain from his hard "life" and his family faith. He punched, my mother in the stomach "hoping" to kill their, child. The child still lived! Michael was 3-weeks old when our father watched him. My mother worked at the cigar factory and my father worked at the paper mill.
One day, my mother returned home to see her baby's "face" black and blue. She "cried," What happen to our baby? My father said, Michael would not stop crying. Lucky, you got home because I was going to throw him off the Copper River Bridge. What could she do, since it was 1947? My mother was going to "sacrifice" their lives. My mother never smoked or drank. She turned the gas burners on high with a "lit" cigarette in the ashtray. My father found them before, the explosion. He promised, I'll "TRY" to be a better husband and father.
Michael was around two-years old when, our father "almost" drowned him. Later, another new-born child named Debbie. Michael turn seven-years old when he got his little sister Debbie around 2-years old and they ran away. Michael said, Mom and Dad don't "love" us no-more? My mother's "faith" had stopped the violence. Where's my children? The violence took many years to stop! Dad carried more "pain" than a man could handle by the World. His father had abused him as a child. Michael lived in institutes and prison since he was never taught "Love." You tell me, Was it his fault? Michael believes, woman loves him by a smile!

The Ending: Youngest brother, Thomas
My mother and father never abused me living as a child. I did receive the "greatest" gift of love as a child. What happen? I was a little boy and I found a friend. There was a "poor" older man and his wife whom, lived next door. They loved, me as their own child. They lived in a old "trolley" car but, behind-it was a small two-room building. The man fixed up one-side as a workshop and he let, me use the other-side for a club house. I really fixed up my club house which, I loved.
Bad News: Over-time, these people had to move. I don't remember their names but, they lived there before, Bill & Kim-Korean. They "hated" telling me the bad news. I did not understand so, I stayed in my club house. One-day, a strange man knocked on MY club house saying, Get Your Stuff, The Hell Out Of Here! I was pretty young and I was probably in the first or second grade. I ran home crying, Mom - Dad! I told them, what the man told me. My parents were upset and I cried for weeks.
Strange: My parents found out this strange man did not own this property. The man had rented this property and he rented it out. They found the real-owners and told them the story. The real owners said, I will sell you this property for $5000 dollars. Needless to say, I got my club house. My parents fixed up the old-trolley car by painting it red, white, and blue.
In 1976, the local News wanted to write a front page story on the old "trolley" car to show patriotism for bicentennial. The local news written, This old trolley car belonged to a child named, Thomas. My father Jim never abused me as a child. My mother gave Jim the strength to keep, "TRYING" to love. My father learned to "LOVE" by stopping the violence.
I was "blessed" as a child and I gave my mother Edie and father a "gift" in return. I was the youngest boy (Born 7/1/65) with a little sister. I was in the third or fourth grade and my elementary school had a talent show. The elementary school was pretty large and I had no-real talent? There were children with talents beyond a person imagination. (Dancing, Singing, Band, and more) I had learned a talent at home but, I didn't see-it as a talent. My little sister Janice said, Tommy - you can win! Please: Try-out for the audition. I did pass the schools audition to compete in the talent show. The day came for me to compete and my father, mother, brothers, and sisters were excited to see me perform. What talent could I do?
I learned the "numb-chucks" (kungfu) as a child. I learned them because, I was amazed by the concentration of mediation. Who wants to get hit by them? Well, I "won" first place. My friends asked me to teach them. My parents never felt as much joy from their child. Hundreds of people cheered for me. I was the "only" single person to win the talent show so, I did take home a "first" place trophy. My father died, around the following "year." I cried, I could not "believe," my father was gone? He learned to "love." I kept, my club house all the way through high-school. Over-Years, Probably a "Thousand" people visited the club house but, I "only" saw myself as a special friend. I never beat-up people with my numb-chucks. People feared to challenge me when, I pulled them out and spin them as fast as lighten! "Today," The Old Trolley Car Sits In The Museum but I was blessed by faith. Get your stuff, The Hell Out Of Here?

True Faith Lives...
My mother use to write my brother Michael in prison but I picked up after she died. One day, I walked to check the mail to find two letters. Two different people and they don't know each other but were connected by blood. One-person in juvenile and one-person in prison. One letter asked, me to send 40 1-cent stamps and the other letter happen to have 40 1-cent stamps rolled up inside. The price per stamp had just risen! Strange thing: The person in juvenile Steven didn't know why, he put the stamps inside the letter. He just did it! Needless to say, Michael got the stamps. Faith by God? Don't miss out on the boat. "One-way," ticket!
Well, 40+ people wrote unto a book called The "Holy Bible." Mans answers? Jesus told (Simon) Peter, Learn to love your enemies. Peter said, how? Jesus said, "TRY" It will not be easy. Peter said, I'll try Jesus.
US-America carries a symbol "In God We Trust" or "One Nation Under God." The time has come for man to grow wise. Children play with toys!
One day, man games will finally END as written in a book called: Holy Bible. I vision, God could throw a large party but Jesus will be sending invitations. Your name will be picked if you've learned to live for God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! I promise, Jesus died on the cross and you carry a "free will." I'm just a Traveler wire on a three way switch. Truthfully: Mom's Gift! Mom named me by an Angel "Saint Anthony" (miracle) at birth. I did vision the moment mom died and it happened! Trip: Mom death was "Holy." Faith, Miracle, or Holy are "only" a word unless you can find it. I love you! Tommy
