The 2nd Edition: The Hands of My Fathers
Ironically, I had about the same amount of time with Great-Grandpa Arla as I did Grandpa Leo. There was only about a month, give or take a few days up to a week, in between their deaths. It seems that I remember his death just about 10 days after my birthday which would be somewhere…

A Deep Love… My Version of Events
February 4th, 2020 The week of 2020 when I originally wrote these articles was very quick.
