And Then He Kissed Me - April Decton

I grew up on a small Indiana farm, as an only child
completely sheltered by my parents.
Ingrained in their faith.
In 1953, at the age of 18, I graduated high school.
In the ensuing months I experienced many firsts.
My first job.
My first date.
My first kiss.
My first heartache.
My more challenging firsts were yet to come.
Becoming a wife, a mother, a grandmother.
Until it was all stolen from me.
My name is Cora Irene Nolan and this is my story.
