[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 5/31/18

[Becky Frankeberger]

My dad was a Korean veteran. He was raised by a strict father who never hugs
his boys or showed them how proud he was of them. He came into his marriage
to my mom exhibiting the same tough no nonsense with his first two kids.
Then came his frail little daughter me. Now how would he discipline me if my
bones broke so easy. How would he protect me from falling or bumping into
things. He had to learn fast, and he sure did. He was the kindest man and
spent much time with me, it seemed on purpose. He played cards, and we took
walks when mom was being mom. He saw how upset I was. He let me vent about
her or bullies at school, always listening carefully. He always wanted to
come up with some wise words, but he was a simple man. He had though a
secret, which I knew about. He could look at a math problem and he just knew
the answer. The Nuns at school were so harsh with him and smacked him many
times. Oh, I so admired his ability for math. He always checked my home
worked and gently told me to check one of the numbers. He was right. 

Thank you daddy,
Bubbles

Happy Wednesday to all you crafters out there.

 

It is a rainy day here in northwest Arkansas and the last Wednesday I will
be in this home.  This time next week I will be back in the deserts of
Arizona.  I'm sure it won't be raining there. Lol

 

I know this question is not craft related, but since Monday was Memorial Day
and since Cathy shared her loss with us, I would like to talk about special
people we have lost.

 

Can you tell us about a special person that you have lost?  It can be recent
or long ago.

 

Who were they and why were they special to you?

 

The people I miss most are my Grandpa and Grandma Foster.  When small I was
a total Grandpa's girl; I thought he hung the moon.  I was his only
granddaughter for many years, so was just a little indulged. Lol  I also
adored my Grandma.  She used to let me help her do the dishes when I had to
stand on a chair and was more trouble than help.  We also made a 9 patch
quilt together.

 

Please share some of your memories; we would all like to read them.

 

Have a great rest of the week.

 

Nella
