Days after my grandfather’s seventeenth birthday he walked my grandma home from school on a cold February afternoon, entered his house, and was met by his categorically evil stepfather and a U.S. Navy recruitment officer.
Within the week he was voluntold to drop out of high school, then he said goodbye to my grandmother and told her he would always love her before he was shipped off to Illinois’s Great Lakes Naval Station for his training.
