• Papaw’s Truck

  The past few weeks have been just a little emotional. Two grandfathers have died in my community. I detailed how a great-granddaughter took me back to my own Grandpa’s funeral reminding me how much I miss all my grandpa’s and great-grandpa I got to meet. Our elders are a treasure.
