While at fall camp two of my dearest childhood friends came for a visit. I know they were so shocked to see the damage MSA has done so far, I know there is still so much to come. While growing up I was always the strong and tough one.
We spent so much time together when young. We played,explores and laughed through
childhood as we grew up together. Their late father was Low Point Lighthouse Keeper and
their mom is an amazing dedicated wife and mother of four and most times me. Their mom fixed many injuries, egos, and a
great cook.. Their place was my home away from home. They took me on many
family drives, circus events and so much more.
Their dad took us up
in this Lighthouse quite often, I remember nervously climbing the three flights of stairs,
passing the floating light on our way to the catwalk; we felt on top of the
world here. This light floated in mercury, which would be changed once a month.
This was before we knew how bad it is for our health, we often played with
mercury and when they came to change this they would dump it in the ground I
have often wondered if this was linked to the MSA?
Our favorite memory
is when their dad would mow the lawn and we would run around in our bare feet.
Our feet would be all green and we went to beach to clean them. We had lots of
laughs remembering the good ole days!
fond memories sis , nothing can take away your cherished memories. Love bertha
