Reminiscing about the past, thanks to a quote from a book Diane is reading....
Some of my regular readers are aware that I was born in Communist Hungary and legally immigrated to the United States.
One detail only a few who know me are aware, why and how we ended up in the United States.
Well let me share the secret. My father was a dreamer, he thought the United States was the "the best country" in the world. He also believed that the streets were paved with Gold and he wanted to be part of the "good life". Keeping in mind my mother was married to a dreamer, but out of loyalty and love, she stayed with my father.
We learned quickly that life was not as my father anticipated and we learned to live and struggle as any immigrant who come to the United States.
Diane was aware of all these details and she is reading a book called "The SEVEN or EIGHT DEATHS of STELLA FORTUNA" by Juliet Grames. Knowing the Barath Family history, she brought to my attention this quote that is in this book.
"...I wanted to come to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I learned Three things: One, the streets weren't paved with gold. Two, the streets weren't pave at all. Three, I was expected to pave them. "Old Italian Story", Ellis Island
I wish I could share this with my mother and father:)))
Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.
