The Journey

Early life

I'm Hannah Jenkins and this is my journey.

As a child, I always dreamt of of marrying the perfect man and having the perfect family. I was born in a Catholic family and a very religious one. Born in 1922 in California, my mother is Dutch and my father is American. I have an older brother Peter, who is six years older than me.

We lived in a fairly modern house that I would consider as being quite large in San Diego. My father was a well-known tailor. He made clothes for everyone; women, men, children. When I was about 8 years old, I would go to his shop and watch people. There were rich and snobby people and other who are more humble, friendly; a great variety of people. At noon my mother would call me to go help her with cooking or cleaning, she always made sure that I do my chores perfectly for when I become a housewife myself but at the time I wasn't interested in being a housewife. As time went by our relationships went downhill.

I had a fairly good relationship with father but I wouldn't say we were close, unlike with my brother. I had a very strong relationship with my brother Peter, we were very close. We dreamt of living a great life together and in fact, he had been with me through most of my life.
