Plot Theme: Overcoming The Monster

Mine was this morning when I could not get a hold of my middle daughter. Now, my middle daughter is going to be 31 years old next week so why am I panicked because I can’t get a hold of her?

Would your grandchildren know who you were?

I went walking with my wife when we came across an elderly gentleman on his bicycle pedaling slowly along. For some strange reason I remember that I never knew my grandfathers and I feel sad.

I miss not knowing who my grandfathers were.
What characteristics of mine would be undoubtedly from my mother’s father or my father’s father?Do I have any outstanding features that are their’s? We see this man riding his bike on a regular basis. Will there come a time when we don’t see him? I’d like to find o Read More
