The story I'm about to tell isn't just about a boy who grew up from the second grade through the eleventh grade in the lap of comfort in a large home on an inspiring 84-acre estate in upstate New York being forced in his senior year of school to move with his parents and two siblings 788 miles away sleeping on five canvas cots in a small one room apartment in the poorer lower east side of Milwaukee Wisconsin. It happened in 1957 but while my candle still burns, there are two persons of character, my mother and my father and what I've grown up thinking was a dark circumstance I found myself in my senior year in high school. A situation I've felt had deeply affected my life. I only recently discovered I've had the facts of what had happened and the circumstances that surrounded them wrong all these many years. I've learned what really happened to my parents at the time-not to me or my brothers but to my parents-and what my parents chose to do about it-how they kept it to themselves. I'd be remiss if I didn't put pen to the story while my candle glows. I ask your patience in my early year preface and buildup-the story I want to tell began unraveling when I was fifteen years old-sixty-eight years before I started to write the sentence you're reading now. It has taken a large wedge of my lifetime to discover the truth, its meaning to my parent's legacies and how it will forever change what I've grown old wrongfully remembering as a traumatic, unhappy ending for my parents oh so many years ago. I'm a writer because of my parent's examples and guidance and I'm blessed that I can take newly discovered truths and weave them into a heartwarming nonfiction, a final tapestry my parents deserve-I promise every word of my story is true. I'll take that risk.
