My first job ever till i was 18. Working with my grandfather Clyde Harlen Sparks. He taught me what hard work was, sweat, making yourself useful, not to get upset when you mess up, how to use my hands to take care of my self and my family when I had one of my own.He taught all of his grandkids what love looked like through his relationship with his wife Pauline.He taught me the power and strength of kindness; and the importance of laughter and jokes.
