Oh, to have one of those days back again!

So long ago I would see him leave Each morning Smiling Off to work Missed not a day That was his way Four children he A good wife tending home Baking bread Smiling Washing clothes Never complained That was her way Money was tight She would patch patches On our clothes Saving Every penny He trusted her That was their way We children grew Moving on our own Our lives found Helping Loving parents We loved them so That was our way Jane Noponen Perinacci

I CAN RELATE TO A LOT OF THIS. THE OLD WAY WAS THE BEST WAY, UNFORTUNATELY, THE 'MOD' WAY OF DOING THINGS PREVAILS THESE DAYS AND SO MUCH IS LOST. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Jane,

This is simply beautiful. I wish everyone could have had the life you had as a child. The world would be a better place. Thank you for sharing!

Love and blessings,

Your experience paralleled mine as you as you probably remember from my autobiography. The only difference seems to be that my parents were much younger and my mother worked as well as did all those wonderful things in the kitchen and in the garden. I'm so fortunate you still have her with me, talking to her on the phone yesterday.

Even If You Went Back You Would (Be Bored)Not
Pleased -Simply It Is The Past-- I Go Back Only
In REVENGE...

There Will Be Is Holy Hell To Pay Starting With My
So Called Evil Family,i.e. 3 Brothers & Bastard Daddy
Are Going To Pay -They All Better Be Hiding In Hole In
Holy Hell ...I Will Find Them For What They Did To ME And
