Dr. Harold Battenfield describes the ways in which he grew as a parent and grandparent, braiding together multiple generations into one family bound by a common thread. The moment after I tell you a story is the moment of your greatest recall. Once spoken words are brushed from my lips by breath or breeze, memory loss begins, and my story can be lost in less than two generations. Not wanting my life history to be reduced to a name on a headstone, I choose to record mine in print to offer up what has been meaningful to me in life, so my children and grandkids can know their family history, become witnesses to who I am, and better understand what I think and feel. This is my story about what it means to be human.
