"Well, I ain' gonna talk so much... not to bore ya'll folks 'cause I must say I do get very much excited when it is my fambly I'm talking 'bout. It is actually quite simple: they is all to me. I find my strength in their needs and love; they are my reason to git ahol of my self an' be strong. I know they depen' on me; depen' on the food an' the reassurance. I can't live no more than for 'em. I love each and every one of 'em: Pa is my other half. With ou'im there'd be no fambly because ther'd be no head...although the head gits lost sometimes an' I have to knock 'im off. haha no no I'm just a-kiddin', he's a great fella. Granpa and Granma ain' here no more, but they is always with me. They were a part of the fambly an' fambly ain't never left behind. They were ol' and crazy but they were sweet. Tom ...oo Tom he's a nice fella. He come back an' all, and me afraid me never gonna a-see him again. He's smart and sweet, an' he is hel' to maintain the fambly together. Al is another that is a-good. He is still a-growin', but he's already important an' he knows about those a-trucks an' stuff. He'll grow up okey. Noah is nice. He a good boy. I don't know what's up with 'im, but I still love 'im. I was devaatate' when he lef', why he had to leave. Emm... oo well Rosharon is a love. Aw she my little gir', bu' she is a-growin' up and she got to git a-strong for her baby; even more now that that a-good for nothin' lef'. She is so beautiful, she'll do jus' fine, she just got to toughen up a little. And last Winfield and Ruthie: those two are two beautiful little fellas. They still very young, an' having to face so hard situations. But they okey, they handle it just fine, an' they still young an' happy. They still innocent. Well, I tol' ya I got excited... I love 'em all and that's all I a-know really."
