Fond remembrances (Part 3)
9/24/2010 11:36:56 AM


If you have read my blogs lately you may wish to know why I decided not to dwell on my forties. This is when heart attacks and illness including kidney decease took place. These are not such fond memories so I am going to dwell on those years of innocence a little more. I think I will tell a little tale on my late dad, bless his soul.
I was not born in a hospital but in my parents living room. That was not so strange in 1945. My Mom had a hard labor and an even harder labor. Things were a little messy by the time I made my debut and the doctor turned to Dad and said,
“Well Duf, I bet you would rather be anywhere but here today.”
Dad shrugged and scoffed,
“It was no worse than pullin’ the hook out of the fishes mouth.”

Mom told this story many times over the years. I think she got mad all over again each time she told it.

Knowing Dad as I do I realize he simply meant the bloody mess didn’t make him sick. However, the timing was not a good time for a remark like that.
