I am positive your children are going to enjoy reading this and so will other people. It's good to know that other families aren't perfect. Everybody has some kind of issues. I really enjoy reading this, myself.

Thank you, Barbara. I think it is good to remind ourselves that life is never all roses and to remember some of the difficulties we had to overcome as a family. I so glad you like reading this.

It is great to reminisce about the good things of our lives. The problem is some sad things also creep in. Sometimes I close my eyes to indulge and reminisce about sunset on a gloomy monsoon day! You have written this part of the biography so well. Thanks for sharing your memories.

Thanks for the review and comments. It is nice to remember the good things in life, but I don't want to forget things the might have happened to teach us lessons and make us who we are. Life is full of ups and downs and I want to keep this realistic. People tell me they are glad to know everything wasn't perfect in my family either just like it wasn't in theirs.

Looking back on life, I've learned how many things that just slipped by without me noticing or how many things could have been so different if I'd just paid attention. LOL. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter. I hope you have a wonderful week!

Thank you for a for a fine review, Ric. My children when reading this think about how many things they had forgotten. I'm sure their memories are of things I've forgotton. It is surprising what stays with us and what slips by.

My the kids were having a few health trouble and injury, it must have been a worrisome period for you and your Hubby. It's a wake up call for the young, not what the expect in their young lives. It is not good for them. Thank you Beth for this biography, and the great effort it's taken, revealing so much, and very bravely, well done, blessings Roy

Thank you Roy. I really appreciate the review and comments. My daughter's health problem came as a shock for us. She tried a lot of things the other children didn't. Ten years behind the others in age, raising her was almost like dealing with a different generation. New Orleans where she got her early start was a wilder place than the others had live in.

watch the possession.(procession)

Oh, Beth, isn't it a wonder we made it through our lives with so much always happening and having to deal with our children's lives on top of ours. I know you don't regret your children, but all the "buzzing" takes a toll. No wonder I enjoy my quiet solitary country life now. LOL

Great read! Smiles and hugs, Carol

Thank you Carol for a great review. We love our children and don't want them to suffer but I'm sure we are guilty of being too accomodating sometimes and they don't learn how ot handle their own lives because we bail them out to often.
