Oh, gosh. Great story, but gosh, what an uncomfortable memory. Your writing is wonderful, Sharon.

Thank you, Rebecca! I do have happy memories of my father, as well, but sometimes the dark side sneaks in, and I feel compelled to write about that, as well.

Your mama looks like she is still in her teens -- and already had four children to nurture! What a strong woman. I loved this story, Sharon. Imagine having a memory from when you were a baby! I can feel your father's hand around your ankle.

Thank you Sharron. My mother did have her hands full, but was up for the task.

I have many happy memories, as well, but this one haunts me, even now.
