As a young child I was pretty oblivious to what was going on in the world and what was going on around me. So when my dad broke is back playing tennis when I was nine, I remember being astonished you could break your back playing tennis. To me, it seemed like a relatively boring sport.
My mom was pregnant at the time with my twin brothers, and when my dad came home from the hospital he had to sleep on the floor because sleeping in the bed was too painful for his back. My parents had a good sized master closet and I used to feel so bad for him having to sleep on the floor. I was also pretty grossed out cuz’ of bugs and stuff. I know they have their place, but I am not a big fan of creepy crawly things…..
When my dad was young, and still living in Summit NJ, his older brothers built a tennis court on the property between their house and their aunt’s house. My dad grew up playing tennis and was able to still play tennis through is late 70s.
