i can't go back and read earlier posts, i just break down. so, if these are repeats, please forgive me. i want my parent's history to not be lost in history.
so early mom - things she told me that i remember, as i remember. we have some pictures of some of this stuff.
she was in choir
she was a tomboy
she had to wear uniforms to school
her mom caught her climbing trees in her uniform & told her it was not ladylike
she wore two long braids in school
she had 2 pairs of clothes to wear & wash by hand and iron
they used an abacus
she played cards with her coworkers and had drinking games and went out to drink
her father was an accountant
her mother was a seamstress
she was born in formosa but her family went to japan because they didn't want to live as chinese
she had two younger brothers
she had an akita dog
she met my dad on a blind date, she didn't like him at first, he was so thin his nickname was skinny
there were people that sold hot sweet potatoes from a cart
they ate sweet potatoes and rice a lot
her parents didn't want her to marry and leave
when she was pregnant she craved pineapple and ate so much that her mouth broke out
she sent money each month with a letter but never got a response so she quit and never heard from or of her family again (that breaks my heart to no end)
