I am from the blue shuddered trailer, the walls that know everything, screaming or yelling or having fun.
I am from fully-planned holiday get gathers and strong will & stubbornness, from Sonya Yeager, Jim and Maggie Hoskinson and Robert (Pap) and Barbara Tennant.
I am from the dropping and helping out others and family suppers at the table.
From “I am proud of you” and “We love you”.
I am from the Plum Run Baptists. From the dancing and singing to tears and deep connections.
I'm from FGH and Tennants/Yeagers, dille beans and homemade chicken noodles.
From the grandpa who knocks out a bull to protect his grandchild, and the mom who worked two jobs to provide a roof over my head.
I am from Plum Run and Davy’s Run. From a hard working family and from a well-rounded work environment.
I am from the place that feels like home, from family and friends that one wouldn’t change.
I am from West Virginia
I think I need to hear the story about a grandpa knocking out a bull! Great job on your poem! Looking forward to seeing the movie!
