Welcome to TRUTH-Lies...
FD Thornton, Jr
We all have a story to tell, some good, some bad, but they all make up who we are. I suppose I was destined to be a storyteller, I come from a family of storytellers. Growing up in Georgia I listened to my family’s stories about living through the Great Depression, World War 2, the Vietnam War, & beyond.
It's stories like these that create the legacy that we become. Either as words of advice or a cautionary tale for what not to do. What I'm hoping to create here is a legacy of the world and family I grew up hearing. Hoping in some small way to create a connection, a connection to our commonality and shared aspirations.
TRUTH Lies… is a collection of my stories just like the ones I heard when I was as a kid. Stories about life's struggles, stories about love and happiness, and stories of life's tragedies. It is my hope that you find some commonality and comfort in my stories and that you realize through them, you are not alone.
Howdy, I'm FD Thornton I was born in the early 1960’s, at Telfair Women's Hospital in downtown Savannah, Georgia. My life was far different from that of my parents or my grandparents. I grew up in the suburbs of Savannah, long before the advent of smartphones or the internet. My social interaction came from listening to the radio, playing outside, riding bikes, and listening to the grown ups sitting around the kitchen table.
While my parents and grandparents grew up or raised their families during the Great Depression and the shadows of World War II. I lived the life of the Wonder Years so to speak. Still we all have our struggles and burdens to bare. Now that my parents and grandparents have passed, I'm now the patriarch of my own little clan. With Lisa my bride of 35 years, our clan consist of two sons, two daughters, two son-in-laws, and two grandchildren.
I'm retired so to speak, so my devote my time to keeping up with this website. Writing essays for social media. Work more or less as an independent published author. I'm also a poet and do a little amateur photography.
