'Hoppy is gone! What will we do?'My father replied. 'Well, we just have to search for him.''Well, I’m sure he’ll turn up in due time.'There it was, the final anticipation that he would come home! However, I didn’t buy it! Off to my room I went - dejected and devoid of all hope. The tears came quickly in the quiet of my room. Emotion, especially tears, was an expression of feelings that were not allowed in our household. As a matter of fact, this era did not support the outward showing of emotion period! It was the philosophy that, 'Grown men don’t cry!' Why not?Men were supposed to be strong, masculine and reserved. Showing other emotions diminished that role. Tears were not to be shown. Hugs and saying 'I love you' were rarely seen nor were they acceptable. Terry Miller was born on August 25, 1939 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He grew up in the small town of Thurmont, Maryland during the 1940s and 50s. He was inspired to share this memoir dealing with the struggles of climbing life’s mountains; more importantly, the victories achieved along the way. It takes the reader through life’s experiences that evolve into personal growth lessons and lasting spiritual strengths.Terry resides with his wife on a five acre country setting in Waxahachie, Texas with their horses and a 'free range' dog named Smokey. Terry and his wife have four grown children and six grandchildren. He retired from a career in banking and is the Director of Pastoral Care in Waxahachie Bible Church.
