1955

I was a bit of a southern belle without the rich family. At the time, I never would have thought that I was college material. Sweet Alabama accent. I was the humble and sweet type of girl, like apple pie on a Sunday afternoon. One thing led to the next and I became college material. In the midst of your herd of fraternity boys, you took one look at me and said, “That’s the girl I’m gonna marry.” I thought to myself - what an arrogant hothead and turned the other way to head back to the dorm. Well, one thing led to the next and I became your wife in 1955 and we had five children! Three boys and two girls. As I rest in my wheelchair now, I think to myself how stubborn you used to be. I wonder what you’re up to on the other side of eternity. I bet you’re just as stubborn as ever but maybe for other reasons.
