Natural Cold Remedies

So, why do I feel the need to tell you this story? Because knowing this history of my family gives me strength in a time when I know what it feels like to be considered dangerous to your countrys well being. Being seen as a threat to American society is something that my family has had to deal with since they arrived on these shores and will probably have to deal with for generations to come. Like my grandfather, I did not keep my Catholic roots. My grandfather broke the Irish-Catholic tradition and became a Protestant Christian man, still passionately proud of his Irish roots.

Women have fought in wars, defended their tribes, defended their homes and their children. Females are seen as weaker than a man physically, but our strength is immeasurable.
