This is a story of the life of a young boy born in 1936 during the Great Depression, who began to grow up during World War II and started school two years before the war ended.

There were two brothers and a sister born in 1938, 1940, and 1943. Their mother passed away because of cancer in April 1945, leaving behind four children aged two, four, six, and eight. It's a story about how we all survived, grew up, married, had families, and lived a normal and happy life.

With a loving grandparent, they were able to stay together for five years until the grandmother passed away in 1950. The rest of the story is about a long and hard road, about a road less traveled, with many ups and downs.
