Hi, this is Sandy Winnette and my mom ran away with me in the late 1940's. She changed her name and everything about her life and mine. She lived a secret until the day she died. My grandmother never knew where we were and many years later after searching I found there were many people who grieved over the loss of our leaving. When my mother passed away I found a folder with a runaway number.
I can share this with you..before my mother died she told me she wished she had counseling over her problems but in those days she did not feel there was help for girls and women who were not married.
As years passed she began to worry about what would happen to me if something happened to her. She often mentioned she had not thought about these things when she first ran away. The older she got the more she worried.
Time passed and we accepted our life.
She left parents behind who loved her and who had worked hard and done very well in life for the times. She left a man behind who had broken her heart. She lived her life grieving and missing these people.
Just days before she died at the age of 84 she ask me if we were o.k. with each other. I smiled and nodded a yes to her as we looked into each others eyes.
Mom died and left a note
(you and I Sandy)-we came a long way baby)
My mother wanted me to tell people about her/our journey so perhaps it would help someone else. This is a good way to do as my mom asked. She told me to ask you to just ..
"Stop and think about it"
My mother was very intuitive and she enjoyed and related to psychic readings. She wanted her story told after she was gone.
