Letter from America

Like anyone I had preconceived ideas about America and Americans , however having been received into the heart of a typical American family , my eyes have been opened . Theses are good people ,trying to earn enough to pay the mortgage and put food on the table ,the same as families the world over .
The family that my son married into have taken him in , unconditionally , as one of them and the friendship that I have received from the extended family and friends is quiet humbling . To be made so welcome , as a comparative stranger , shows the values that "ordinary Americans" have to their fellow man .
Tommorow I return home with good thoughts and given the 2$ to the Pound , a lot of clothes and goodies . God Bless America .
