PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 84 - my music for you

PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 84

Pawpaw loves Connor, Bryson and Archer!


When you were younger, Connor and Bryson, you used to ask me to play Pawpaw's song in the car. You both love music.


Since you probably won't be allowed to see me until you may choose to do so after age 18, there's a good chance I won't be alive then. I leave these messages to let you know that you were loved and missed every single day. I have loved you both since the days that you were born and I held you in my arms. (I only was able to hold Archer once and only for about an hour).


I have decided to record my songs and leave them on Youtube for you to hopefully find someday and know your Pawpaw better.



My song EDUCATION RUINS A SLAVE is a tribute to Frederick Douglass. His mother had been enslaved and when he was born, he was automatically a slave in a horrible time in American history. Frederick escaped and began to speak and fight against slavery. He influenced President Abraham Lincoln.


I love you all,

Pawpaw

You two crawled into the a tunnel leading to a viewing port for kids inside the fish tank! Being your Pawpaw was a highlight of my life.

My song SEE YOU LATER is one of my favorite songs that I have written. It is about my Grandma Virginia Margaret Wheatley McWilliams. She was your maternal Greatgrandmother.  Grandma Mac was what we all called her. She was of Appalachian heritage and Scottish before that. Her Fourth Great Grandfather Abraham came from Scotland to Pennsylvania before the American Revolution! His son Samuel fought in the revolu

PAWPAW'S MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 35 - LGBTQ Pride

PAWPAW'S  MESSAGES TO MY GRANDSONS 35 Pawpaw loves Connor! Pawpaw loves Bryson! Pawpaw loves Archer! Why I Celebrate LGBTQ Pride by Steven Skelley I can trace my maternal family line back to 1720 when Abraham McWilliams was born. He sailed to the New World, settled in Pennsylvania and his son Samuel fought in the Lancaster County Militia for American freedom. I am proud of that history. Just as I have a place in the history of my genealogical family, I am also a part of another family. I have a place in the history of the homosexual family. Unfortunately, unlike my genealogical history that can be easily traced, the accomplishments of my homosexual brothers and sisters have been erased. Cave drawings and art from the Mesolithic period in on Sicily, Bethlehem, Zimbabwe, Czech Republic, Egypt and more depict LGBTQ members of society. Millions of people throughout human history have been born like me. Some societies valued my family. Most societies shunned, imprisoned, castrated, tort
