This Queens, New York born and raised yankee can’t express in words enough how much I adore our brothers and sisters in the South. 
I spend a lot of time in God’s country of Auburn, Alabama and each and every time my heart leaves full of joy and hope. 
The spirit of love for God and country in the South is infectious, and you can’t help but smile as people greet with you a “sir” or “ma’am.” 
I wasn’t born here but I’ll always consider this my adopted home. Hope you’ll have me.
