Words of My Parents

Step back in time and hear my parents tell how things used to be back in simplier days before the internet and smartphones. Hear Dad tell about growing up on a farm in Cleburne County, Alabama, when running water meant you had to run and get it. Ride on a troop ship with him to Europe, not knowing what he would face in Nazi Germany. Find out what it was like to be right there in the middle of the sheer joy and mad celebrations when the war in Europe ended. Hear Mom tell about the hurts, fears and joys of raising her two children from the moments they were born until the oldest begins school. Cry with her and laugh with her as a young mother finds her way in ways that just might help other young mothers or mothers to be.
