He was a good husband, a good father. I don’t understand it. I don’t believe in it. I don’t believe that it happened. I saw it happen but it isn’t true. It can’t be. He was always gentle. If you’d have seen him playing with the children, anybody who saw him with the children would have known that there wasn’t any bad in him, not one mean bone. When I first met him he was still living with his mother, over near Spring Lake, and I used to see them together, the mother and the sons, and think that any young fellow that was that nice with his family must be one worth knowing.

ReplyDeleteYes, that is so true.

ReplyDeleteIt was weird, wasn't it!
DeleteI know many people who have read everything by this author, and yet I've read nothing that I can remember. I think I'll use the next 15 minutes to listen to the audio version you linked up Nita. Have a great start to the week.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it. She's worth seeking out.
