My Mother was born into abject poverty near Cairo, Illinois in 1931. Her mother was 15 with no husband. They had to snare rabbits and steal potatoes. One house they lived in was torched by the landlord for the insurance while they were inside.
She worked summers at Yellowstone Park while in high school and met my Dad at the Bremerton Navy Yard where they both worked in 1950.
She almost died giving birth to me in 1952, emergency C section with my Dad having to make a run to a blood bank in a taxi I was told.
She was a wonderful person, great cook, den mother, chauffeur, worked many years at the Boeing cafeteria in Seattle until breast cancer took her in 1994 at age 62. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She is missed.

That is awesome.
