Patriarchs Are A Necessity

Bittersweet Trinkets
The world seems so different. Until I was literally around a month from my 14th birthday the light switch was turned on. Losing someone had a deeper meaning to me.

The Mowing Chronicles: Mowers
Life is funny sometimes. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest right? I have some memories of Sunday afternoons dad, myself and my two younger brothers would be napping while watching a movie. This is when we lived in the trailer where my brother lives now. Mom would be outside and push mowing…
