What I Should Have Asked My Parents<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is too late to ask where did you met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was your first date, what kept you apart? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What did you study in school? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was your wedding like? Mom, after you died, I found<\/p>\n\n\n\n
your wedding picture, you were beautiful. Was it strange<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to have your father officiate at your wedding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are only a few pictures of you in your wedding dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When did you get the cocker spaniel, Blackie? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When did you move into your first house? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is too late to ask those questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you get married before moving to Oak Ridge <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What did you do at the plants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What did Dad do? What was it like to live in Oak Ridge? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have read the books, it sounds a little grim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were you happy when Fred and I were born? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did we move to Kalamazoo? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

too late to ask them now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
