James's Memories

While dad was undergoing chemo he took it upon himself to fix my kitchen drawer that had been broken for months. Even though his health was failing he literally put everything back together again for me not out of any carpentry training but out of love and sheer effort. He was also a father figure as well as a grandfather for my children when their own father left.
