Finally, I Can Really Give Something Back!

I wish this could've been around when I was homeschooling. For the first time in my life, I'm not worried about how I'll earn an income. I’m not here to convince you to check it out, but I want to share that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that might disappear early next year (2025). Below, you’ll find a few of the products that I create videos for, earning a commission each time someone buys from my video. If you want to make more money than you ever dreamed, head over to TikTok and explore the TikTok Shop for Creators (it is 100% free). This is my way of giving back. I want everyone who needs a miracle like this to know about it!

Notes

My mother became pregnant with my oldest sister before she was married. She said she had a "shotgun wedding." She was then sent to live with her Uncle Malcolm Castellaw in Peoria, IL. From this point forward, Mama referred to herself as the "black sheep" of the family and did her best to live up to that reputation.

Her second child, a son, was given up for adoption, probably in Chicago, Illinois.

In the 50s/60s, she lived in Tennessee for short periods of time. In the early 70s, she moved back to Tennessee for about two years, and then on to Dallas, Texas, where she lived until her death in 1992.

Mama stated often that she had been married five times. It's possible she was including an annulled marriage in this total. It's also possible that she married my father twice. She said that my father was the love of her life.

Mama mentioned the boy given up for adoption many times. Unfortunately, this was while I was young and I didn't question her about it or pay much attention to it. Memories are vague about the details she shared. This is what I remember:
David is the name I think of when remembering her talk about him.
Danny Silverstein is the name I think of when remembering her talk about the father.
She said the family of the father forced her to adopt the boy out. She didn't have the money to fight it. I don't know if he was adopted by them.
