I was lucky enough to have mine around till was 10. She lived in the hills of WV. It wasn't only a pleasure to spend time with her, the nature hikes were amazing.

The best! Mine taught me to forage, cook, sew, etc. Miss her. My mom always had to work. Not her fault, those were just the cards she was dealt.

I did a search on YouTube of Alma WV, where she lived. I was shocked and thrilled to find a video of mom, grandma, great grandma, and even great great grandma, with a baby me walking in the yard. FF to 7:09. I was truly shocked to find this. So very long ago: youtu.be/rZc-7SHEA2Y

I'm thankful to what ever relative posted it. I have no photos of this. no old pics. Dad had a photo of the Grams and Mom sitting there, he died 4 years ago, I have no idea who has those pics Maybe went out with the trash.😔

Maybe. I have way more pics of paternal side, and virtually none of my mother's. My dad's side had more money, so they could hire photographers; my mom's didn't. They lived on a tiny farm miles from nowhere. They probably went to church once a month. My dad's lived on a cattle ranch. Own church.

My parents divorced when I was 10. Mom left to do her thing so my brothers and I were raised by Dad who was always busy running his auto body biz. Got lots of pics of him, maybe 3 of mom, she wasn't in my life for many years. Dad passed 4 years ago. Moms still kickin'. Haven't spoken in years,Sad
