I wish that some parents today understood how important all those little memories can be to a child. Special, loving times like these, always end up meaning more than all the expensive shining gifts. Our love and attention is what children remember long after the video games and toys are broken and tossed aside. Thank you again for all the sweet comments you have left for me. I just haven't felt up to writing on my blog the last month, but I am doing a lot better now and hopefully I will get everything back up to speed soon. Have a lovely afternoon ahead! With Love, Delisa :)Delisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793953725620270977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-3931654543860054712012-07-23T16:46:27.745-07:002012-07-23T16:46:27.745-07:00Thank you Daisy..Thank you Daisy..Susie Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052734156809316397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-31984093259639810952012-07-23T16:46:03.546-07:002012-07-23T16:46:03.546-07:00Thank you Joseph, yes they had big families and ti...Thank you Joseph, yes they had big families and times were hard but it was so rewarding..

To feed and take care of so many children is a herculean task. I know how difficult things were in those days. So many changes have come in this world over the last four or five decades. Some changes are good but some are not so good. We are also adapting to changes to the best of our ability. Now we hear of climate changes,concrete jungles in towns, pollution, contaminated water, over crowding, high cost of essential items and so on. Well, life goes on with good and sad memories like yours.<br /><br />I hope you had a wonderful day on your birthday.<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-86679942773649164062012-07-23T07:05:47.159-07:002012-07-23T07:05:47.159-07:00Such a sweet memory and birthday story.

Your description of the store truck took me back to the little country store where we bought things.<br /><br />Such a wonderful thing your aunt did for you! I never had a real birthday party until the year I turned 70; the kids came here for a pizza supper for me. <br /><br />I was very sad when I came to the part about the fire and your aunt's death.
