At this point time as situations occur, I reflet back on my parents, married in 1923, raised 6 children, I'm the youngest and one of three still living.  The diffcult times of world wars, depression, and doing business, my father's own construction business, occuring while raising a family and seeing them "leaving the nest."  I can only suggest the hard times they had by my own experiences.  i do remember the strong family bond we have with faith in every aspect of our lives.  Also remember the laughter and family closeness. 

I feel blessed having been exposed to the structure of faith in every day living experiences.  Hopefully my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will have some of that bond for support.  Right now of course, I am referred to as that "old fashion" "lady."  and I do see that respect in their behavior when we are enjoying activities together.  I pray for them daily, HE knows more than this "old fashion" "lady."  God Bless
