People intend to share their life stories with their loved ones, but they pass sooner than expected. Grandpas war story about finding himself caught behind enemy lines. The time Mom worked as a waitress and spilled coffee on the man she would later marry. Dads portrayal of the modest farmhouse he grew up in, with its drafty windows and haunted attic.
