MY MEMORIES

Charles Glenn Petersen

Mother (continued)

I missed my mother, she had taught me the rudiments of cooking, how to score baseball (as mentioned earlier), how to play Bridge (a game I enjoy to this day), and a lot of other things about living.

A little over a year later, my father remarried his bookkeeper who was a widow with 3 children of her own who were in the same age range as my brother and myself. I didn't blame my father in anyway, he was a lonely man after mother died and the new wife would not be a replacement for my mother. Unfortunately, the new wife and I were never on the same page. For years I did my best to hold my tongue, I told myself for the sake of my father's happiness. I never really liked her and I think the feeling was mutual.
