I found some more photos to put here.

That was Anna's son Tim. Mom really loved him but I think Dad thought he was a brat. This is the last photo and maybe the only one we ever had of him.

I recently made a contact of sorts with her daughter Shannon. Apparently she wants nothing to do with us. I still don't know if her mom is alive but she was in the late nineties and living in 29 Palms in California.

There is no telling what they were raised to think of us. Anna spent a lot of her life thinking she was better than us. For all I know they might have been told we hated them or that we were all dead or even that we never existed.

Its sad when something like this happens in a family. I do not feel cheated in not knowing them. I've enjoyed my life for the most part and done a lot of things. I think they missed out on not knowing us. Sure, we were poor but it didn't mean we were bad people.

Fate led us all in these directions and we did with our circumstances the best we could at the time.

I feel bad that Mom mourned so much for her "lost" ones when it looks as though no one even cared about how she would feel.

 

That was Tim the last time we ever saw them when Anna stayed on Delaware Avenue while OC was in Okinawa.
