August 4th Grandpa started getting ready for Kamber Brown to move in by cleaning up the basement bedroom. Then he mowed the lawn then cleaned out branches from the trees so that his neighbor Brother Wheelwright could park his trailer in Grandpa’s field.
Reflecting today Grandpa talked about his own father Axel and the time that he would stopped in and visited him. “I’d ask Dad how he was doing, and he’d always said I’m doing pretty good. Despite how he was feeling, that’s how he’d answer me. I know now some of what he must have been experiencing and I have a greater compassion. I wish I knew more about him as a person and had spent the time to listen and ask questions. At this time in my life I appreciate my parents more than I ever have in my lifetime. I guess life gives a new insights and perspectives as we get older, and I am grateful to be here on earth another day.”
