Growing up on a farm in the Midwest during the 30¿s, 40¿s, and 50¿s was a page in history the will never be again. Each family farm was a special little unit that was very sufficient. We grew our own vegetables and some fruit, we raised cattle, pigs, and chickens. We therefore had our own milk and cream, our own meat, our own eggs, and from our well, our own water. The mothers sewed the clothing, and we even had our own fuel, copped wood! There was no medical insurance, and if the grandparents needed healthcare, the family took care of them. Farmers had no motor homes, vacations were unheard of when you have to milk the cows twice a day and you owed it to the cows to be on time. Entertainment was in the home and visiting the neighbors along with bridal showers, weddings, along with graduations and an occasional barn dance. It was a cohesive unit, and a happy one!

I stood in front of the headstone which read ‘Rita Rocca Nee Tomlin (15/6/1942 - 21/10/2020)’ and thought, ‘Is this all there is? Her name on a headstone with mine to follow.’ I remembered a warm May Day in 1948, when we both kneeled at the same altar waiting for a priest to give us our first taste of Jesus. She, in her white dress, was wondering if the day would yield enough for a new doll and pram, while I wondered if mine would yield enough for roller skates and maybe a new football. I recalled the honeymoon in Jersey in 1963, Miss World at the Royal Albert Hall in 1980, and the ball that followed at the Savoy Hotel. I said, “Sorry girl, I can’t give you a Taj Mahal, but I will write a book, which will hopefully make us more than just names on a tombstone.”
