INTRODUCTION TO SHORT STORIES
" My Dad was raised in the old Chandler school house which is now inhabited by our neighbors. He was always a "mean one" as his mom used to say."I'd have to beat 'em to death just to get him to mind",says Mammaw. She didn't mean ,of course, that she'd "really" beat my Dad,but back then parents were strict. I think that's the way it should be.
My dad was always a hard worker,and probably before he gets to the place where he's too old to work,he'll die.He can't tolerate not being busy,and for as long as I can remember, we've always had food on the table and anything else we needed. We've also  had most everything we ever wanted,so we've been blessed.
One good thing though, Dad wasn't much of a "fighting" man...unless you "crossed" his family,and then you were in for it. He pretty much keeps to himself.
Dad  is one of the greatest men I know.He'd never turn down a stranger in need .Even if it meant doing without himself.
Dad and Mom are both my heroes,and I plan to do all the things in my power to be just like them." Bridgette
