Today family composition is far more diverse. Just as I might not relate from a time perspective with my friend, I would think that maybe younger people today would have trouble relating to my my era. In that time frame it was somewhat rare for single parent families but not unheard of. Her circumstances were different than mine and the time in which we grew up was different but there is still a bond to be had between girls that didn’t have a mother in their home,Īs for my story, I, too grew up without my mother but it started in 1960. Her mother passed away shortly after her birth. You wouldn’t think that she and I would have common ground but yet we do. As a little girl she lived down the street from President Truman in Independence, Missouri and was a year younger than Margaret Truman. She has children older than I am but still, I love hearing her stories about her childhood and her young life as a wife and mother. Take for example: I have a friend who is in her 90s. I think our stories not only affect who we are but how we relate to others. What life experiences led them to the place they are?įor that matter what were the life experiences that led any of us to be optimists, pessimists, high-strung, laid-back, kind, cruel, adaptable, obstinate or any combination of personality traits that we are comprised of? What happened in our lives that caused us to morph into who we are? I, for one, love to hear other people’s stories and how they came to be the person I know. I love the idea that everyone has a good story to tell. If you know my story you’d have a hard time Believing me, you’d think I was lying Joy and sorrow never last I’ll die trying to not live in the past If you knew my story My heaven and my hell If you knew my story You’d have a good story to tell
