Best Gift Ever!

One Of my fellow bloggers
that started following me when I first started blogging 
came across this vintage Ear tag! 



The 363 in my business name means a
lot to me. It was my grandmothers home address. 
It was her first home she owned, and my first true home 
I felt safe in. 
My grandmother found me when I was 7 years old took me inn.
 My mother could never could stay in one place. We where always 
on the run and lived in a car most of the time. 

My grandmother made me the guy I am today, and If it was not for her I don't 
know where I would be today!

Thanks again Theresa it really means a lot!

Check out Theresa  amazing blog! 


Love Mark

    I love hearing stories like that. I ran a rescue mission for many years.
    I saw so many people who did not have any place to go (especiall children). I thank God for Wonderful Grandparents who are willing to start over in life as parents so that children can start over in life......... I am glad you shared about 363. I Was curious about that. You just never know what others have gone through. Blessings!

    I loved reading about your story. Super nice of her to send the tag to you! I just got done reading a true story called "An Invisible Thread", and it was about a little boy with an uncertain future, then I read about your story. Very inspiring!

    I read the story of room 363. I feel you are more attach with your grandmother than your mom. I also more attach with my grandmother. These relations are very important in our life. Thanks for sharing your story.
