FAMILY OF SECRETS

I was asked by my son John and daughter Jan to fill in some of the gaps in the history of the family. So a few years ago I started to tell the story as I perceived it from my point of view. Often I had to stop, because parts of it took me back and I experienced the feelings I had then. Some of the secrets I learnt later in life, other secrets are still uncovered. Would they have made any difference if I had known what they were? I do not know . This seemed an appropriate time to have my family history and my story published as I am 85 and just retired from my business.
