This is a picture that my Mother took way back in the Summer of 1974. My brother Michael was on a leave from the US Navy. I'm sitting next to him wearing my floral colored dress. My older sister Catherine (Cathy) is sitting next to my brother. My younger sister Lucille (LuLu) is sitting next to Cathy.
My Mother raised four children on her own. My stepdad provided financial support but nothing else. He lived his life with his new wife. He was a real sport...as long as times were good.....I guess he lost his backbone after my Mother got sick.
Oh well, I turned out pretty good. I love my floral print dress & my dark olive skin tone. My birth order is the middle child. Middle children usually feel left out when there are two parents raising a family. Not being part of my family seemed to work for me. Oh well, my older sister & my younger sister were always the favorites. My brother & myself...well, we weren't. Whaw whaw....not me, life is what you make it.
