Only child. Mama worked long hours as a nurse. Sick people don't take holidays. My parents divorced when I was 4 or 5. Don't remember it. And she never even dated after that. Don't remember anything before about 4th grade. I have maybe 3 memories but that ain't saying a lot considering I was already.. 9? I've always wanted to be hypnotised to find out what I don't know. My Grandma always called me "Little Dennis" because apparently I was so much like my father, whom I never saw... who she also hated. Love you too grandma.

She preferred the males in the family. I looked for love and acceptance from "men" in any fashion I could get it until I was nearly 30 and realized I didn't need it.
I do remember planting the gardens with my Grandaddy and boy cousins. One would make the hole, usually with a broom handle, one would drop the seed or plant and I got the dirty job of covering it up. I hated that part. lol I wanted a CLEAN job! I always ended up filthy. maybe it was because I was the youngest.
Edit to add: I believe grandma was there with the water... had to get it some how... Told her to Kiss My Foot once but she couldn't run as fast as I could! lol
