Meet THE ONE WHO CAME BEFORE—

also known as Grandpa

I have traveled far—

in years and in miles—

gathering a suitcase full of stories.

I have walked many roads,

but none more important 

than the one that led here…

to you.

The books on this site—

and the resources that walk with them—

are my gifts to you:

 a map of memory,

drawn in fire and ash,
so you will always know—

where you began,
and how far you can go.

Someday, perhaps, you’ll wonder who I was.

That will be enough.
