I’m so delighted to have this interview with my 94 year old Grandpa Ball. I already chatted with my grandma in episode #12, and so many of you listeners wanted to hear from Grandpa after his cameo at the end! If you liked her story, you will surely love his as well.
It’s hard to know how to title an episode for someone, let alone someone who has lived 94 years. Since his childhood injury has shaped so much of his life, I thought it was a fitting title, but we talk about so much more!
From him calling himself a “spoiled brat” as a child, losing a hero in a tragic way, being rejected from WWII, and then of course how he met my grandma and the words of warning his own mother gave him after meeting my grandma just once.
Though his memory seems to be most foggy about parenting his two girls, one of them my mom, I was pleasantly delighted to hear what he was most strict about.
In the end, he shares his heart about losing my mom nearly 3 years ago, a pain we both share.
If you loved this, please hop on over to Instagram and share what it is you loved! This helps others who may be on the fence about listening, want to hear. I promise, it’s not just for my ego to be stroked…being a part of the conversation makes this more of a community, which is important to me.
