I have to share a true and funny tale with you! My mother was born in 1929 too. She is still alive, but lost in dementia, so there's no retrieving anything these days. However, several years ago I was writing a children's book based upon my grandmother's life (her mother) and I asked her to read it and give me feedback on accuracy, as I was writing about primitive farm life and was out of my league, recalling only bits and pieces of childhood memories. Mama liked it, but whispered (literally - whispered), "don't tell anyone, but (name of uncle inserted here) is really my half brother. Mama was already pregnant when she married Dad...I think his real father was (insert name of Scottish colonel visiting the US at that time.)" This never made its way into the (unpublished) book and has never been shared, except right here with you where it will be buried in that famous Cloud in the sky where all things on social media end up going to rest!
