66 years ago today, Thursday, January 1st 1953, Truman was president. And he was from my home state of Missouri. Hank Williams, young legendary country singer died approximately 845 pm.
The weather in Ray County Missouri was warm especially for that time of year. Farmers worked in the fields taking advantage of this. My mother was very pregnant withthe me. She spent a good part of her pregnancy in the hospital. The doctors wanted her to abort me but she said no. She agreed to never get pregnant again. I was actually due Christmas and everyone that she would be in the hospital then, so they gave her her gifts in advance. Needless to say, they had to do more shopping. Easier said than done. The nearest town was approximately 10 miles away and very small. God decided that my time to enter this world at 8:45pm. I wonder if Hank Williams souls crossed one another that night. If so, God did not bless me with his gift of music, but an appreciation of it. I was named the New Year’s baby of Lafayette County after the first was stillborn. My father teased me until he passed that he was unable to deduct me from the previous years taxes. I believe God had special things planned for me and still does. I am empowered through him. Happy New Year.
