Nudge Me Gently

Nudge Me Gently invites conversation. It is a collection of stories about family and the people we meet along life's way. Whether intentional or incidental, they shape where we are and what we become. You will be hard-pressed not to reflect on your own experiences as you read about his siblings and silliness and about a little sadness. The conversation may remind you of something you haven't talked about in a long time. Real-life events make us laugh until we cry and cry until we think we may never laugh again. Join Larry at funerals and weddings. Support him when his tricycle is stolen. Acknowledge the potential of the students he meets, and recognize that the author is as harebrained as he is sensitive. The journey will take you to care centers and campgrounds and from the obscure town of Azalia to the immensity of Arlington Cemetery. You will visit his Grandpa's farm and the county fairgrounds. And, it won't be long before you realize that this daring, bald-headed guy is not afraid to let down his hair and share his feelings and secrets. He trusts that you care to listen. Every day will not necessarily bring amazing discoveries, but many offer moments for reflection and opportunities for thankfulness if we choose to accept them. On a daily basis we face an array of emotions and a diversity of experiences. Most of our lives, like these stories, will run the gamut from delightful goofiness to serious contemplations. Hopefully we learn to appreciate the richness of one moment and to endure the challenges of the next.
