How blessed we were to grow up with both of our parents in a stable home. Sadly. that concept seems to be losing adherence these days.

Really enjoyed this vivid story about some of your journey and the details about your special Mother. Lost my Mother in 2012, she was 90. My brother told me that he never really became a man until our Mother completed her earthly experience….We were both very close to our Mother and it definitely changed me forever too. I still find myself longing to call her and hear her German sweet slight accent once more and ask her questions…..she was a trivia buff and spoke three languages fluently……Mom was an interpreter for the US Army during the war….there she met my Father, Lt. Col J. Fred Reynolds. Dad was also in WWI Calvary….he was 23 years older than my Mother…..he was born in 1896.’’’’’oh my’’’’the stories he told us.

Again Thank you for sharing here….I got a bit carried away chatting🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Wonderful story! Both my parents were born in 1916. I was born in Oakland. Your Mom sounded like a like a real cool Mom. Thanks for sharing these wonderful memories.

Loved this history of your mom and dad Rob. Both of my parents grew up in San Francisco and were married there after WWII.
