Child Interview Reflection

The parent interviewed was my mother Carolyn, who spoke these very works. My recollection of Kenneth as an infant through childhood brought back such wonderful memories. From the moment, Kenneth was born, I was in love. He was such a happy baby, always smiling and giggling. He always wanted me to play with him, hold him, kiss and sing to him.
