My mother will be 89 next month. She was born and raised in Hawaii. So many memories she told us about where she grew up in the 30's and 40's. So much history. In a way, I have still a little bit of love in my heart for my mother even though she treated me like crap. But that too is starting to wither away as I grow older.

My dad is 85 and has a few health issues but goes out on the bus most days.<br /><br />It's shocking to see how little, things cost 80 years ago but of course wages were a lot less.<br /><br />Hope you are keeping well.xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093533351238991113noreply@blogger.com
