I've had it easy, but my dad...


he often greeted my grandpa at the door of the saw mill shanty (where they lived and my dad was born) to see if "he got anything that day" - hunting after work often determined if there was meat in the pot that night....for my dad that might have been more disappointment than stress, but being my grandpa...guessing that was probably more stressful than a cracked phone screen...

I won life's lottery compared to that - but I have no guilt, there are reasons we improved our lot in life - the corps at VT offering a way to education for my dad being a big one.
