Your father and mine ...A very beautiful life story!<br />Your father and mine had some things in common; my father was the oldest son among 13 children, and he had to give up his studies in order to go to work. He was only 12 at that time. His mother was also a cold woman. I remember her, and I didn't like her. I never met my grandfather, because he died many years before I was born. <br /><br />Ana Bailunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399615369919172144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-74194950494881194912017-03-28T21:58:52.903-05:002017-03-28T21:58:52.903-05:00I was lucky and always knew it.I was lucky and always knew it.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-85788840854027577682017-03-28T15:23:07.495-05:002017-03-28T15:23:07.495-05:00Your Dad was a great example of how to rise above ...Your Dad was a great example of how to rise above circumstances and do something different with your own life!

How wonderful that your father managed to shake off the psychological yoke of his own upbringing and make a good life for himself and his own family.

I said that we all knew our father loved us and he knew we loved him. The minister was so moved that when he spoke of it he began to cry.

I found the meaning of a gunner's mate: "Gunner's mates (GM) are responsible for the operation and maintenance of guided missile launching systems, gun mounts and other ordnance equipment, as well as small arms and magazines. They work with electrical and electronic circuitry; mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems."John Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185765129472832100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-66321999121179135312017-03-28T09:43:27.567-05:002017-03-28T09:43:27.567-05:00I'm so happy the plant closed down to honor yo...I'm so happy the plant closed down to honor your Dad and let the workers attend his funeral.
