A few days ago, I returned from a trip to Akron, Ohio, my hometown and the former “Rubber Capital of the World.” Like many young adults, my future seemed a “given.” Like my parents and grandparents before me, of course I’d stay in town and eventually be interred at Holy Cross Cemetery. In my certitude, I neglected to consider what John Lennon once acutely observed: Life is what happens when you’re making other plans. In my late 20s, I left Akron, and made my way to Washington, DC, Knoxville, Tenn., and Seattle before reconnecting (43 years l...

A few weeks ago, I happened to look out the back window when something next door caught my eye: Grayson and Leroy were chasing each other up the backyard hill of their grandparents’ home. Laughing and running, they were just enjoying each other’s company, without a care in the world. It was a snapshot in time, a seemingly insignificant moment that, in the future, will likely be remembered with great affection and nostalgia. When we first met, both boys were in primary school. This fall, Grayson will move on as a Gar-Pal freshman and Leroy wil...

Onl...
