Doc
Thanks, Doc. If you've read up the thread, I have been taken to task about my gramma having the balls (sorry) to tell her husband to hit the road in about 1938.
She hoed a tough a road, waiting tables and finally marrying my terrific (step)grandpa when she was 28. They ran a little cafe in Tulare CA with two gas pumps and he drove a truck until he "retared".
People have no idea. My mom was a tyke and they lived in a garage with no furniture and cut grapes when she was a toddler and her brother and sister were small. Mom almost died when she stepped on a hornets' nest.
This wasn't much of an improvement from living in OK and watching snow blow through the company shack and having no coal or food.
Post 45 I believe.
Amazing, isn't it. Yet so many can't accept that a mother and a father, as in a true and real marriage, can be such a great start to a normal, happy childhood.
Thanks for the link. Interesting how much abuse came from the "homosexual parent."
Bingo
