@MariaLiv @RickiTarr I think of her collecting firewood to boil clothes, scrub and wring by hand, and lift and hang pounds and pounds of other peoples' wet clothes on a line. She was a tiny woman. She ate slowly and ate every crumb. She had seen others die by starvation and never took any food for granted. She never romanticized the past.

@pattykimura @RickiTarr Yeah, exactly. Poor woman. 💔

So many women and men had it like that, or worse. Working in coal mines, living in terrible conditions, and all the people who were forced to be slaves, etc etc.

I can't imagine going back, even in my own life! I've had so many dog year's, and I am finally getting on my feet. And although the future might not look to bright in some areas, I wouldn't want to go back. (Except for changing the climate politics).
