more on the short story about my mother and family

She mothered her baby dolls in the box Masha decorated as her doll house. its me, from my sisters story.Dolls were an important part of my childhood.

It's really my doll from my child hood the late 50s Cleaned up.Until last week dirty and damaged.Like me. I asked a new friend who is also a doll collector if she knew of a doll hospital. She took the doll, cleaned her up and put new clothes on her.

motherhood..in my 20s..I never wanted children. I tried to have my tubes tied.Planned parenthood wouldn't. How profound is that?? I have this incredible daughter about to make her own way in the world. I cannot imagine my life without her in it. Considering my own mother, its a miracle that I even knew what to do with my own daughter.
