My mother had Mayflower credentials. My father, let's say, didn't.Stability for our family was never long-lived. I learned early on how to cope in a topsy-turvy family environment. It was filled with insecurity, poverty, hunger, and fear. I went from being a big sister and caretaker at home to wife, mother, and grandma. It's been my faith in believing in the hope and promise of tomorrow that has helped keep me on course to this very day.I learned along the way that life doesn't always follow our well-intentioned blueprint. I've heard it said, "If you want to make God smile, just tell Him your plans." As this is true, I know God has smiled many times during my seventy-year journey.In dealing with people and problems, my husband once asked, "Who do you envy?"The answer was simple. I envy no one, nor do I wish my struggles on anyone. Perhaps my story will give another soul the message that you are not alone.view less
