Late 1950s. May 1. Riding with Dad by a cement block house. White. A few clothes out back on the clothesline. Diapers mainly. A tricycle with a wheel missing lay over on its side. A few rusty chairs shaded a patch of grass. Close by sat a sporty aqua Chevy Apache pickup with white trim and windshield visor. That could only mean one thing. Daddy’s friend, Lemuel, was there to collect the rent. We wheeled in and stepped into the dirt. Lemuel walked over washing his hands as if he had just planted a tomato.

Long did Grandad’s fiddle hang on my mother’s living room wall. I could never walk by it without wondering … “What’s its story?”Best I recall, my mother didn’t know its provenance, that fancy word for something’s origin.

By Dr. William HollandWhen we were young we seldom thought about the afterlife since we were so focused on this one, but as we grow older, we become more curious. I believe in visions and dreams, but I do not know anyone personally who claims they have been to heaven, however, I’ve heard a few people say they have. Even though near-death and out-of-body experiences about heaven are common, I’m not going to discredit those who really believe they have encountered a glimpse of the other side.
