RE: Memoir Monday #45 What is one of your favorite memories of your mother?

in Silver Bloggers7 days ago

What a beautiful post! Very touching. I'm sure if your mom could read it she would be happy. I am amazed at the ability of mothers to multiply, to be in everything and thus, have love left over to give. At first, I felt some anger with your father, but then I saw all he had to do for his family. Those were other times, which perhaps we don't understand now. Anyway, thank you for such beautiful memories and pictures. Regards

Thank you @nancybriti1
She was a special woman. She had 5 children and raised two that my dad had before marrying her.

I never understood why they lived so long with a tarp for a roof but now I understand he needed a store to make money so he could buy wood and then he had to haul it by boat.

I still think the age difference is wrong, but it was common back then.
