respect.........

Author: Nuwahri61

an outstretched hand
a cutting stare
a warm apology
through the boy
grows a man.......

it takes a lot of guts for a youngster to accept mistakes...but better than that is the fact that it takes character for a youngster to find the courage to actually see you in the eye and apologize... I won't say you're a lucky dad because you are not...you taught your boy...there is nothing luck got to do with youngsters building up healthy characters...it's due more often than not the examples they learn from their parents...so happy for you my love...you might have waited a while but unconditional love always pays...

Hi Poet ......Glad it bought back some memories for you ........currently flogging down here and the wind is howling ....we have a cyclone just about to cross the coast about 3hours north of here so mother nature is letting us know who's boss......Kathy and I are both well ...thanks for your thoughts mate ...regards Nu

Oh....

It is said that they usually begin in the Northern part of your country and then they sometimes drift into temperate coastal areas, threatening more populated regions to the South. Northern Australia has about four or five tropical cyclones every year during the summertime wet season, or I could be wrong Nu. For a cyclone to develop, the sea surface must have a temperature of at least 26ºC.

Hi Poet .....you have been doing your homework .......you have pretty much hit the nail on the head ............they pretty much weaken after they cross the coast ......this is the first one of the season for the east coast only a number 2 but still potent enough to do some damage ........thanks mate
