July 4th Journey

It was July 4, 1996. My brother, John, and sister, Becca, had chosen to spend the 4th of July holiday in Buena Vista with my grandparents. I had decided to stay home with my parents. My baby brother Stephen was yet to arrive in October, so I had a brief “only child” experience. Because of … Continue reading »
