Memory #4

This one we recounted on the night of her death -not sure what brought it up that night.

When I was 6 I had appendicitis and went to the hospital. I woke up to her sweet face and a present she had gotten me: a Barbie Ken (I had only Barbies) with a little girl. They were part of the "Sweetheart" family and I was so excited, because I had wanted a Ken. I had seen the commercials on TV, and I knew Mrs Sweetheart was also sold with a little boy to complete the family. I asked her for it and she got them as well. She didn't have a lot of money to make ends meet, but she'd always managed the little she had extremely well. She got me the dolls and I remember it to this day. I think Mr Ken Sweetheart was the only Ken I ever had.


On a parle de ce souvenir le soir de sa mort -je ne me rapelle plus pourquoi on en avait parle.

Quand j'avais 6 ans, j'ai eu l'appendicite et je suis allee a l'hopital. Apres l'operation, je me suis reveillee avec son doux visage et un cadeau: un Ken Doucoeur avec une petite fille. Ils faisaient partie de la famille Doucoeur et j'etais tres excitee parce que je voulais un Ken. J'avais vu les pubs a la tele et je savais qu'il y avait aussi la maman Doucoeur avec le petit garcon dans les magasins. Je lui ai demande et elle me les a aussi achetes. Elle n'avait pas beaucoup d'argent mais le peu qu'elle avait elle le gerait tres bien. Je me souviens tres bien de ces cadeaux.
