I was raised in a plain old mom and pop farm family. There was mom and dad, my sis, who is 18 months older than me, and me. Both of my parents were loving and supporting. Mom passed away from cancer at the age of 46 when I was 20 but that was after I was raised and on my own.
When I was six months old, in September of 1951, my mother got polio and was in the hospital for six months. During that time I lived with another family who took me in as my own and loved me as one of their own. When mom came home and I came home to her I didn't want to accept her because my new family was now my accepted family. Because of this shuffling between families, for the next forty years I had an internal fear of being left alone. I didn't realize the cause of it till I was 40 or so. It was then that I realized how an event in a very young person's life can affect him or her for the rest of his or her life. I have no more fear of being left alone now. I never would have been able to handle being away from my family while I was on the wheat harvest if I still had that fear.
All in all, I feel very blessed to have been raised the good old fashioned way by very loving parents. Jim
