The year is 1968. My Journey
A young girl, ( just a child looking back). Thinking she knew everything, but knowing nothing. Not from a affluent family, but a loving one for sure. Not a stable family but a caring mother who fought hard and long to raise 4 children for the most part on her own. Doing the best she could. There were 4 of us. 3 girls and a boy. I am the youngest of twins. We had a hard life growing up, my father wasn't around much so my mother had to raise us for the most part on her own. Born in Ohio and moved to florida when we were young. Mom always working to keep us fed and in clean clothes. I was in high school in 1968 and thought I knew it all. As i'm sure allot of teenagers do. Met a youg boy who was from a very nice family. We dated awhile and thought we knew what we were doing. Little did we know we dind't even fathom what was about to happen. His family didnt think I was good enough for him and tried to convince him of it. But we continued to date. Then in june of 1968 I found out I was pregnant. I thought for sure we would get married and raise our child. Foolish girl.
