one season with the old wooden traps with the cement slabs in the bottom of them. Pulling up 5 traps on a knocker, by hand..
I made some good money, but I was only 17 and wasn't interested in doing that again...

while trying to be supportive at the right times.

But, and I am hoping you will forgive me for this -

the streets of your town, when you and your sister were coming of age, must have been strewn with men who killed themselves due to failure to gain your favor. You are both stunners.

You and your sister look gorgeous!

My heart breaks all over again at the terrible losses you all have sustained...

Thank you for allowing us to travel this sad road with you.

What happened?

Sounds tragic and don't want to intrude but it seems like it is an open story.

Hi Gray,
