In my book of blessings I have the honor of sharing part of my maternal father's story. Tom Wilson and his family (brother Jack, sister Eileen, parents John and Margaret) set out on a journey in 1914. The journey ended in Oklahoma rather than back at their home, South Africa, and so I had the fortune to be born. Grandpa shaped my life in so many ways and today on Father's day, I remember him in gratitude.
This photo was taken in his backyard in Norman, OK. I was visiting and happened to be able to help with cleaning up some of the onions which were being harvested from the garden. This was after Grandma Hazel had passed away and Grandpa's sister Eileen had come to live with him.
Thank you, Grandpa, for your unconditional love.
