I was fortunate enough to grow up where neighbors helped each other. Anyway this is a true story of Ronnie Dunn the guy singing he was six years old the last time he saw the old man was when he went off to college. The Lord took him to be with his wife. For the people out there hold on to your memories tight. hold on to the ones you love tighter.

I was a little girl in the 50s segregated South and one of the people I loved the most was an old black man, Bob Bailey. He had a mule named honey, and they plowed people's gardens every spring and fall. When he came to Grandma's house to plow her garden he would put me up on Honey's back so I could ride her. When I heard his wagon coming down the street I would run to meet him and he let me have the reins. I miss that sweet old man and his sweet, beautiful wife, Caroline, and Honey. ❤

Cross generation friendships are precious. The letters in red. He led Dunn to the Lord. That he was now with his wife and son in heaven. When someone is gone you both want to cry because your heart is split in two; and you want to laugh at the good memories. Neal, you are awesome!

I had an Old Man Rigley when I was a kid....We lived in a tiny town in East Texas...His name was Mr. Lawrence.. He had a small grocery store out in the middle of nowhere...From 12 - 16 when I could ride my bike down I would stop at his store and visit...He would always give me a pop "On the House"....some great memories.. I remember going to his store in the late Spring Early Summer each year and him telling me, Stormy, The Cherry trees are full...Better get out there and help the out....I would eat those cherries right from the tree until I had a real belly ache....Goodness I miss those days. I would love to be that man for some of our youth these days....

I was the baby of my family with 20+yrs she difference between me and the oldest sibling. Went fishing, hunting together shared food. Between all is kids we took care of each other for years whenever we all had extras each family shared what we had with the other. Color was NEVER an issue between us.
