    These 5 angels has hit the jackpot! Allow me to elaborate. I was born in the 70s and my biological father was 49 when I was born. If I had it to do all over again I'd still want it that way. Why? Great question. My father was my absolute hero. He never laid a harsh hand on me, never raised his voice, or so much as spoke a harsh word to me. He always had a smile on his face. He was responsible for teaching me about loving God, myself, and others. I'm in my late 40s now and my father made his peaceful transition in 2007 at 83 years blessed. I believe that the patience and love that Mr. Thomas has developed over the years and the wisdom acquired from raising all 30+ previous foster children will bring great joy and do much justice in the lives of these precious gems from Heaven. And to be raised by a real gentleman like him in today's time is almost rare and unfortunately nearly unexpected. May God bless Lamont Thomas and all of his household now and forevermore. In the name of Christ Jesus. Amen & Amen. Thank you for sharing this wonderful inspirational story. Stay healthy, be of good courage, and stay positive. (Smile)
