Well I was off work the last 2 days, sick. Well I was really sick Monday but not bad yesterday. Since I was still sick Monday evening I called in then.
Today there is something on my mind that pops up from time to time.
When I was little my mom and I lived in Florida. We moved around, a lot, from place to place. The last place we lived was a condemned apartment building, the rent was low because the place was due to be torn down in 6 months or so.
This is where my life drastically changed. Mom had her stroke here. Now in some respects that was a blessing, my guardian taught me to read the Bible. I am grateful for that even though we now disagree on what it really says.
That is not what is on my mind though. Mom had some friends here, DeeDee and Gary White. They had 2 children, a girl named Tracy and a boy whose name escapes me. They were unique people. DeeDee Was a stay at home mom, and I have no clue what Gary did. I loved them. Gary had a hobby, milking rattlesnakes. Yes seriously he sold the venom that made the antidote.
The reason for this post is I never got to thank them. They were there for mom when she had her stroke, and cared for me until my guardians came for me. I have tried to find them but have had no luck. I have no clue if they will ever know how much they meant to me.
Hugs Y'all
That is so sweet Mel. I can remember people from my youth, especially when my dad got laid off and we spent a whole winter without heat or hot water, who really reached out and helped us. I don't remember all of their names, but I remember their kind acts. I hope that I can be helpful to people like that in my life.

ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful that you remember those people Mel. One day you most definitly will get to thank them. :)
