Kept


East German Flag



Happy birthday to the best Mum ever! She raised Mel and I as a single parent during a time when single parent families were as plentiful as 4 leaf clover. And she kept us!

I was a good student and she could have sold me to Japanese-American for about $10,000. Mel was an exceptional athlete (without the help of steroids.) East Germany would have paid $20,000 to make her a citizen and put her on the Olympic swimming team (bonus; she'd pass the doping tests.)

But Mum kept us. Bless her heart.
