REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time
GRAND PARENTS
I would never understand how my father lost everything his
family owned to Uncle Paul’s wife Lavina. He also took on
the care and expense of his mother. He probably shouldn’t
have. Mom on the other hand would give a hand to anyone,
and she helped nurse Pop’s family for years.
Grandma had no money after it was taken away, and Mom and
Pop really had no alternative. However, the combination of
two teen agers, I was on the cusp, a grumpy old lady who
hadn’t had any children around for hundreds of years, and my
poor parents trying to sort it all out was a bit much. I
remember it as the hardest next 5 years of my life. I would
always resent her impact on my family.
