You know, those are almost the exact words my husband said while we were discussing his legacy today. The fact that ancestors left huge chunks to him to take care of because he wouldn't do what was popular, but right, has caused a divide among his generation's cousins. I know he hurts because of this, but the elders placed confidence in him to keep their legacy intact (struggles to possess real estate after slavery) and put in place elements to secure its future.
Why him? they all grumble.
"We're all descendants. Each with the same opportunity to lead. Why weren't you chosen?" was his response.
Thanks so much for your visit and thoughtful analysis. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.
