Maps
What is that word?
He asks…
Pointing out a country on his map
I try my best to pronounce it correctly…but I’m not sure
He loves maps..my Dad’s passion
Maps of all kinds
All places
He struggles with …
words…
names…
places…
Reading in general
Sacrificing his education at an early age
for his family…
his mother…
his younger siblings…
The Great Depression changed him
It did not however…
Prevent him from learning…
From continuing to
Teach himself
at all costs well into adulthood
Daily he mastered the most
complex math…in his head
making the correct equations to determine
the right mix of sand, gravel, and cement
The proper slope of a roadside…
the length and height of a bridge
Yet…he still struggled with words…
with reading which he loved
But
He never gave up his
Love of
Maps
