Mother's own words
She would reflect on such sweet memories of farm, when she was little girl. She would always talk about splitting rails to sail to the coal mines for support,
Selling chicken and eggs to make ends meet.
The Christmas tree that obtained from a neighbor so Howard her younger brother would have a Christmas tree. Retrieving the fallen apples from the snow covered ground to make pies with her mom. She reflected on one evening when there was little food house and her and her brother Howard and her niece Bessie, wanted something sweet , her mom was able to find items to make them some fudge.
When my mother would reflect on her memory of her life on farm, to me and my siblings and the grandchildren you could see the excitement in my mother's face And eyes, as she talked about her father and mother, brother, and sister for they virtually had nothing of any of any real materialize value, and sometimes not even the necessity items for survival, and to hear her talk, they had everything!
The essentials for one survival, is not what we do not have but what we have.
This is something my mother has taught her children, look at what you have, and look at the good aspects of it. For if you look at the bad aspects of life, that's all you will ever see what is bad in life.
As an author, I only wish it could have known my grandparents, but I did get to know them through researching them. My mother telling us stories about her parents. I and my siblings were lucky, they got to enjoy the stories that my mother would tell us.
