Family Memories....
Day 1
I will start by telling you how my parents met. They both went to Westside High School and lived very close to each other. My mom wasn't interested in my dad at first but he wouldn't give up! He just kept asking her out until she said yes.
They dated for a short time and got married. My dad's parents didn't like my mom at first because she wasn't Italian. They eventually came around and loved her. My mom's parents just thought she was too young to get married but they did give her their blessing.
They were 17 and 18 when they married and they got pregnant with me just a few months into their marriage. They had a pretty rough start. My dad had a lot of different jobs during their first years together and was a very heavy drinker. He spent a lot of time in the local bars. A lot of fighting in the early years but they loved each other.
I was always a daddy's girl and there isn't a thing my dad wouldn't do for me. He always had my back as child and as an adult. My mom too. Over the years they had a lot of ups and downs. They both had very strong personalities and sometimes they clashed a little. It's funny though, despite their problems they had such a strong love for each other. They couldn't live without each other.
They were pretty amazing. Pictures from my parents wedding day. March 28, 1966
