My father was James Franklin Augustus, my mother's side is Irwin. my mother showed much of Indian blood dark skin high cheek bones, as I do, I have a feeling in my heart that I know must come from Indian heritage. Nature, the wind ,trees. Horses, all nature is my comfort. It is so hard to find anyone to share my feelings with. So I stay to myself with my dog. She knows me, we have been together for 15 years. I want to touch thoughts with others like me. My special name is Whisper. She comes to me in my dreams.
