The stories about how you made the best buttermilk biscuits
The stories about how you made the the most mouth watering pecan pie during Christmas

The stories I've heard about how strict you with your daughters with your intimidating glare like a lion with its prey
The stories I've heard how you fought in the Vietnam war so you could get back to your wife and children
But when you came back you children were much older now
The distance and time between seemingly unbearable 
The connection that you once had gone like a leaf in the wind
But the last story I heard was how you were unwilling to give up 

But you heart gave up so I never got the chance to meet you...]]> 2021-09-24 12:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lamattinad/rhj5ivw2seliue90/wish/1765534344
