Welcome to the home of David and Susan, authors of the His & Hers Blog about living with depression.

_________________________________________________________________________ 

I plan to put exerpts from our blog on this site in the near future.  I also plan to give you some details about David and Susan.  We may be depressed but we have also lived very interesting lives.  I believe you could say we have reached the age where we have acquired some wisdom as a result of our many life experiences.

I am a mostly retired female senior citizen who is part of the Baby Boomer generation born after WWII.  I believe my brother David also falls into that generation as he is only five years younger than I am.  David is a disabled Veteran.  I am an Avon Representative and work part time. 

We belonged to a family of seven children.  David is the only boy and is the child in the middle.  I am the second born child and have the tendency to please people.   That's a difficult tendency to overcome.

We were raised as U.S. Army "brats" traveling wherever my dad was stationed.  David was actually born in Germany, a place I would love to return to some day.  

My fondest memories when growing up were of the time we lived in Sullivan, Missouri near my Nana.  She was a wonderful grandmother to us.  She taught me to crochet rag rugs and to play Chinese checkers.  She would play Chinese checkers with us as long as we wanted.  

We lived in an old two story home practically across the street from our school and church.  It was a small town and I was in what is now called middle school at the time.  While living in this town, we were allowed to walk all over town without fear.  My sister and I walked to the dime store, the library, Nana's apartment and many other places.  They were good times.
