    When he is standing and talking, my grandpa is on the far far left. My mom said there was footage of them playing basketball that they had come to my grandpa’s school. I am so thrilled to have found this and showed it to my mom.

      An infection caused by the rubbing of a brace on his ankle, exacerbated by his towering height and the strain it placed on his nervous system
