This is my Pa. Ha!
This was taken long time ago; 10, 15 years maybe. Not only is he wearing a sailor's hat and a cheesy grin, but he's replete in a suitably grandfatherish cardigan. God bless him.
I been reconnecting with the old folk. Listening to the stories. Learning. Trying to carve a better way from the mistakes of the past. Loving and accepting my family for who they are, not who I think they should be.
Its incredible what you can learn if you sit down and listen to older people. Some of the most incredible stories I have ever heard have been from when I did some volunteer work at a nursing home.
He wears the same cardigans as my grandpa.
