Mom and the kids Me: This is almost the last shot from 1968. Do you remember it as being a pleasant year? Mom: Yes. Me: And why do you say that? Mom: Well, we got Bobby. Those years were full of me doing crafts, y'know, taking care of my children, and reading. I remember them as happy years. Me: So you weren't worried about what was going on in the country? Mom: Well, I was. But since I was on Long Island...it was a little bit distant. I remember looking at Tommy and Bobby and thinking if there ever was a war, I'd move to Canada. I don't know if I ever really would have done it, but I was very very against the Vietnam war. I did a lot of reading...up until then, I always thought it was patriotic but lots of books were coming out in that period which made me understand that the war wasn't patriotic but political. And one of my main objections to the war was that if we were going in, we should give our soldiers everything we had to win, and they weren't doing that, they were prolonging it, they didn't give them full power, and it upset me very much because a lot of my girlfriends' brothers died in Vietnam. So I was bothered by it. But I was busy with two children, so I put it out of my mind...well, I didn't put out of my mind, but...you know, I really felt bad when I read the stories and all, but then I always went back to raising Tommy and Bobby. Me: You know, I remember you saying something about moving to Canada when the Marines were bombed in Beirut. Mom: Oh yes. Moving to Canada was always my answer to everything. Bobby in his crib
Mom: The sweetest memory I have of this little crib? One day — it had to be more like Thanksgiving, very shortly after I got Bobby — Bobby was crying. So I went over to the crib, and he took one look at me, and he started to scream. And then I started saying "Bobby, what's the matter?" And I just knew he recognized my voice, because once he did, he stopped crying. And that was quite a motherly moment. Up until that time, he couldn't see me clearly — babies don't see very well — but he evidently knew my voice. long sleeve nightshirt pet pajama llama llama red pajama bottom pajamas star wars pajama knit nightshirts pj salvage robe |
