Beautifully written. My mom grew up a coal miner's daughter in Coalwood, WV. She's not here anymore to ask her about those days, but I really love what you said about life cycles, death generations, mothers, grandmothers.... "turning of the shadows". Thanks for sharing.
I was in a rush, and driven to make something of myself as an early boomer. It wasn’t until I claimed my retirement that I slowed down and began to notice the scenery, and smell the roses. The more interests I develop from reading, I wonder what sort of a life I would have created for myself raising animals and/or crops in rolling farmland or the hills. I thank you for reminding me I’m a Ohio boy at heart.
