By the time I got there the youngest was in his 20's. I met a lovely woman who had such a big head due to hydrocephalus that they had a tray made for her wheel chair so she could lay her head on it. She had the most lovely southern drawl and was just so happy. It is amazing how brave your family was and thankfully they treated your Uncle like everyone else.<br />Have a wonderful day,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-16464219459674088602012-03-15T01:02:47.336-05:002012-03-15T01:02:47.336-05:00That's a great family story.

I am always grateful for their fortitude and spirit of adventure. And how they were willing to save everything they could to travel to this new place where they had no-one. And they were willing to work to do whatever they needed to do when they arrived. My father's grandparents were proud to work and save to own their own home, which was a pretty big deal. And grandmother Minnie put herself through school to become a nurse!Lynnebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574595306598710412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-35645109702736230922012-03-14T17:31:11.710-05:002012-03-14T17:31:11.710-05:00I love that story!!
