I always try to make sure my column has a point to it. I want to share a life lesson and encourage readers to live an optimistic and positive life. As for this column, I really don’t know what the point is, other than I’m missing my mom and dad now … and decided to write about them.
I hope you’ll allow me just this once. May I?
My dad grew up in the coal mining area of deep southern Illinois. If you asked my dad what nationality we were, he’d usually laugh, then respond, “hillbilly.” My mom was from Sands Springs, Oklahoma. When asked the same question, Mom would say, “Okie.”
