Mar 2014

My Mother died 2 years ago and the last remaining member from my childhood, my dad, died Christmas morning 2013 at age 90yrs old. My aunts and uncles are all gone on both sides of the family, hubby past in 2002. So, it's just us so-called kid (what they used to call us) are the last, with our children. But somehow, we, you and I, will both survive and get back on that horse and ride again.
