	While most wills leave loved ones big estates, bank accounts or cars, I was left something bigger than I could ever imagine.
	A seven foot marlin.

	He was glowing on top
of local church followed by the words DIED FOR OUR SINS.
“Want to peep the bathroom?&#8221; Julie smiled.
&#8220;Sure.&#8221;

	Imagine you sent your only child eight thousand miles
away to go to school in Chicago. Not a suburb, but Chicago, the murder
capital of America with shootings heard around the world.
	You trust your child at a faith based school, spending as much as $40,000 a year to live and study there.
	And this is the only thing [...]]]></description>

	I’ve just adopted a half a dozen international teens.
