Being Grandpa Aro

I have always thought my Dad was made for Grandparenthood.

Grateful

I could strike up a conversation, but that seems counter productive.

What am I missing most?

It's just that I'm not certain that I'm doing it right, this life.

Stand up

We are done with waiting and hoping.

Being Human

Identity Crisis

I have a confession. That's not me.

A Love Letter to the President

If the Obamas had a theme song, I would download it.

Kris

The Perfect Life

It’s the mornings that sometimes get me.

Being Human

Good Service

Just for the record, I never liked that car.

Being Human

Instead, I Waited

I waited weeks, months, more than a year.

Being Human

What We Knew in High School

I didn't know who was there.

Being Human

A Home for Life

Sometimes we weren’t with either of our parents. Those were the times when we relied on our aunts and uncles.

Nightgown

I flip to the next photo, and there it is. The yellow nightgown.

Being Human

Easter Giants

I bawled like my heart was on fire.

Being Human

My Mystery Childhood

I never made friends. I never caught up with the curriculum.
