The One Who Brought Me To Earth
- I was putting three-year-old Johnny to bed when he asked for a bedtime story. For the
past few weeks, I had been telling him of the adventures of his great-great-grandfather: a
colonizer, a soldier, a community leader. As I started another story, Johnny stopped me
and said, "No, tell me of Grandpa Robert." I was surprised. This was my grandpa.
I had not told stories of him, and I could not imagine where he had heard his name. He had
died before I had even married.
"How do you know about Grandpa Robert?" I asked. "Well, Momma," he
said with reverence,"he's the one who brought me to earth."
