May 2, 1935 was indeed aas he grew into a fine young
special day in the Olivier family man who knew the value of a
as it was the day that Dad came hard day's work, understood
into the world. Born during the the importance of honesty and
forthrightness, knew how to
love and be loved, and kept God
close and present in his life.
He met and married the most
wonderful woman ever born, my
Mom, and that union has pro-
duced five kids, 16 grandkids
and 16 great-grandkids so far.
He and my mom have created
a legacy that we all continue to
pass on to our ehildren:
While many families tend
to drift apart as their numbers
grow, our family is not counted
among those who took that
path. We gather regularly for
holidays and other occasions
regardless of distance. Granted,
we can't always all make it, but
we sure try our best to do so.
We were raised to hug and.
to tell each other we love each "
other whenever we can. We are
loud and we laugh and we enjo~
each other.
The thought of what Dad
has experienced so far in his '
life blows my mind. Born in the
Depression, he was six when
World War II began. He served"
in the military during the
Korean Conflict, he witnessed
the Civil Rights Movement, the
Vietnam Conflict and the Cold
War in its entirety.
Technology has gone crazy
in his lifetime. Though the
automobile was long invented
by the time he was born, it was
still common to use a horse for
transportation in rural Iowa and
South Dakota where he grew
up. Having a radio was great
entertainment and a having tele-
vision was totally amazing. He
saw the advent of atomic and
nuclear power, the first com-
puter was invented and we put a
man on the moon.
The radio, the TV, the com-
puter and the phone improved
from the rudimentary to the
advanced. We now carry com-
puters in our pockets in the
guise of cell phones, we are just
a few keystrokes away from any
information we desire through
the internet, we can now have
our loved ones in the room with
us even if they are on the other
side of the world through Skype
or FaceTime and our TVs are
smart...the possibilities seem
endless.
The world is very different
than it was when Dad was born,
but some things have remained
the same. The lessons he taug~i
me, the love he gives me, the ~.
life he built for his family are
a constant in a world that con-
tinues to change.
I am often cognizant of how
lucky I am to have been born
into my amazing family, but
it's weekends like this past one
that make me revel in my good
fortune.
