Tales from childhood: How I look at life.

Good evening, everyone! I'm a friend of Raymond's family. I want to tell you about my views.

I'm a positive person. That's what my wife says. If you succeed, then it's good. And if not, then you didn't really want it. Maybe you can do these things next time.

Also, of someone speaks badly about you, don't be upset, because if people call you that, it's they who call you that.

I immediately forget about such trifles. And I advise others to do the same.

"Yes, that's how it should be!" my child said.

Tales from childhood: What is our reality?

Hi! I'm Beth. Now is time for interesting story. I think that you know about Angela and her parents. So, I want to tell you a secret. Actually, her real family died a few years ago.

Therefore, Angela simply made up many situations due to severe stress. Then it got better when Raymond and Maria took her in.

One of my friends, who knows the family well, told me all this. Although it may just be her fantasy.
