I am from corned beef and poutine.
From the smells of fresh blackberries and clorox.
From the sounds of hymns and sizzling bacon.
I am from bitter chill and humid fog.
From lacy dress socks and patent leather.
I am from shamrocks and maple leaves.
From sliding on the ice and playing in the rain.
I am from intense thinkers and diligent workers who remind me that smart is cool and that taking care of people matters.
I am a Hicks and I am proud of our story.
