We made our way through old family scrapbooks
I have read about Pearl Harbor in all of the history books just like my friends and neighbors. In fact, I was born just ten years after the attack. I even saw the movie that was based on the events at Pearl Harbor. Nothing, however, came close to helping me learn about the truth of the tragedy at Pearl Harbor like talking with my mother.Brand Wallet
My mom was in her mid-twenties during the second World War. She was a nurse that was stationed on land just outside of Pearl Harbor. I didn't know until recently just how horrific the events of that attack were even on the nurses who were stationed there to keep track of the health of the soldiers.Brand Sunglasses
When I was visiting my mom a few months ago we sat down with our cups of peppermint tea and began to reflect upon life before my father passed away. We made our way through old family scrapbooks that captured photographs from our countless family vacations. I asked my mother a variety of questions about what it was like to raise six kids and I asked her what she thought her greatest strengths were as a mother.
