Me too. I loved hearing my grandma’s stories about the depression. I know that sounds weird. LOL I think she filtered them for our little ears and made them sound not so bad, even though I know they had nothing. Heck, AFTER the depression they didn’t have much.
I liked my other great-grandparents coming to America stories, too. Whenever I see those old-timey movies of the people coming into Ellis Island waving and smiling despite the really tough journey, I think of them. Now I’m getting teary. LOL
Family meant more to people in those days. There were fewer divorces, people had problems they - gasp! - WORKED THEM OUT!
Today families are so fractured that even though we have more material goods than they had during the Depression our lives are often not as fulfilling or happy. We are a throw away society to our own detriment.
