And my Uncle Leo did have a farm with chickens and corn. Oklahoma informs everything I do, as does California, because I moved there in elementary school. I ask because when I came across the chickens I thought of your childhood in Oklahoma.
And I’ve always been interested in the idea of passing down stories from one generation to the next. It’s that time when not only our own parents but the parents of all our peers are leaving us. And in the past few years, my dad and Molly’s dad have been really sick, so aging, in general, had been on my mind.
When you get older, you get a little reflective and in looking back on my own life, I recalled bits and pieces of people’s stories which I used to invent Grandpa Green’s life. It would make a much better story if it was 100 percent autobiographical but it’s only indirectly personal.
