I think I saw my father cry twice. Once on his return from Vietnam and the other at his mother's passing. I've since learned that although they were supposed to be the weaker sex, the women were as strong if not stronger.

Either of my grandmothers could have been chosen. I didn't realize how strong my mother was until after she'd passed away. She had a tough life but suffered in silence.Mary J.
