"I used to stare at his calloused hands and wonder if his heart was just as calloused" I hear ya brother. "Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." Calloused hands or calloused heart. Great write, my friend, heavy thoughts. JL  . Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I'm comforted in some way to hear you talk about the only father you have ever known. I think you have a few more things to say about him... Lori |
