Here is the next episode of Mother's autobiography. I must say this one was a very tender one for me and for her. It hurt like the dickens for me to have to tell her when she didn't want to walk the parallel bars that I didn't care. If she didn't want to walk again that was okay by me. I will have to clarify one thing though. In the video when she said she called me a brat for saying that. Well that is not quite what she said. She said, "D*** you Lois, I'll show you." And she did. I love her and miss her so very much. Some day we will meet again!

Here is the next installment of Mother's Life Story just as she tells it.  We all may not remember it just as she did but it is as she recalls it.  Today she tells of her hard work to try and learn to walk again so that she would be able to leave the hospital.  Bless her heart!!  She worked so hard.  She never gave up even when the doctors told her she would never walk again.  She just said, "I'll show you."  And she did.

Wow! I can't believe that it is Friday again and that I am actually home. In today's episode of Mother's life, she tells about her back injury and how she was paralyzed for several months and in the hospital. When she mentions Darrell taking her through the locker room at the Rigby Boy's basketball games, she should have said Rigby instead of Menan. The Rigby Trojans played their games in Rigby and not in Menan. Enjoy! Let me know what you think!!!
