I was born in 1894 to a wealthy family of cloth merchants. I am the youngest of four siblings and have two older sisters and one older brother. My mother died when I was five years old, shortly after my birth, and my father remarried three years later. This not only filled an emotional void for me but also opened up new opportunities as he helped his second wife run the family business. Despite all these changes, I still felt very secure within our home because we were surrounded by love from our close-knit family which included grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends who often came over for dinner or just stopped by on their way to visit other relatives in town (p7).
