I am thinking of my father deceased 10 years . I am thinking of my mother deceased 5 months . Today we ate turkey , the gift of my mother a few months back . Both of my parents younger years were not my times .Their younger years were the Great Depression Years . The whole country of The United States of America in a state of depression of significant scale . Theirs were years of rations . Rations of foods . Rations of gas and oils .Theirs were the years of families loosing their homes . Their younger years were the years of the great dust storms . Their formative years governed how they raised their children , me and my siblings . My parents younger years became their tools to educate their children . Hours spun onto years as my parents memory stories schooled us children . Most of the stories had pleasant antidotal endings . Others of their stories ended sadly with melancholcal endings . Indeed the basest of tools teach a good lesson when the tools are used well . Today my stomach is full . I feel the love that my parents had for one and other and their children as a blessing unmeasurable . I am truly thankful to have had such wonderful parents and take their lessons of life and love to the bank of daily life every day to my very last .
