Very beautifully written. Very heartbreaking story. These are the type of things that make a person so strong to deal with the hardships in life.

Ruby, I grew up much like you did except in Alabama. My parents were together but not always happy. We heated with a fireplace or if we were lucky a woodburning stove. We rented our house and moved at least every 2 to 3 years. I wanted to live with my grandparents but could not leave my mother. Bless you for being so honest with your life history. My brothers and I did well. I am a nurse and married a Navy man, my three brothers are a police officer, schoolteacher and truck driver.

Ruby You have so much to share with all of us, you are truly a jewel. The truth is dear, when life is less than perfect we make alterations…I, being phsyically limited, have learned this truth well…and thank the Good Lord for giving me a sense of humor so I can laugh at my “alterations” when these seem a bit strange to others. All in all, a positive attitude carries you to the clouds…your family is a tremendous success, you have every right to be proud of them…and of yourself.

Thank you for sharing this. Your mother was a strong person and your family is a credit to her.

This is a wonderful story. I think mothers are so underrated, they are the fountains we drink from. Had it not been for our dedicated unyielding mothers,some of us would not be here today. Great tribute to your mother and all the similar mothers. My mother raised five children alone.

I liked your story. Reminds me somewhat of my childhood. I can definitely relate to some of your life. Sometimes the bad isn’t so bad as long as you have loving people around you.
