I am Doris Oden Darrow, born in the late 1920s in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles, California, known as Venice. In the 1980s, my grown children asked me to write down as many memories from my childhood as I could. In 1987 I sat down at our old Royal typewriter and began my first blog. It is reproduced here, as faithfully as possible. The dates are manufactured, as Blogger's tools only allow dates as far back as Jan 1, 1999.
Jesus
In the summertime, Grandmother Kramar invited each of us to spend a week with her in Redlands. It was Rachel's turn, and so I had to sleep alone in our room. I was scared of the dark. Mom came in and sat with me. When she tried to leave, I cried. She finally told me that if I had Jesus in my heart, I wouldn't be alone. So, I turned over onto my stomach, and with my face in the pillow, I prayed and asked Jesus to come into my heart. I was 6 years old.
