Good Pioneer Stock


All of my life, I've been told that I came from good pioneer stock. These are my grandparents. Their names are Earnest and Annie. I call them Gramma & Pop. I could fill books with all the wonderful memories that I have of them. The bittersweet memories of happy years long since past which I can still see in my mind's eye. He's been gone for 31 years and she left this Earthly existence almost 27 years ago. At this age, now, I realize that I'll be missing them for the rest of my days but that their influence on my life continues to guide and comfort me daily throughout my journey.
