Thanks Kathleen! I definitely did. I wish that my grandfather were still alive so that I could chat with him and ask him some questions about his life. The obstacles he faced. The choices he made. But I do cherish the memories I have of him, of time spent with him. I feel like he and my father have given me many, many gifts.
This is brilliant, Garrett, what a wonderful childhood memory and origin story. And it speaks not just to your own family but those two generations of men many of us remember in our own grandfathers and fathers. Well done!
Fantastic story. And writing stories is also a great way to understand our own emotions. Seems like you gained a lot from this reflection.
