Welcome to TRUTH-Lies...
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 outside of Savannah in big and beautiful Bloomingdale, Georgia. Long before the advent of smartphones or the internet. My social interaction came from Saturday Morning Cartoons, the FM radio, playing outside till dark, riding bikes, and listening to the grown ups while they smoked cigarettes and sit 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 in life of the Wonder Years...well so to speak. Still we all had our struggles and burdens to bare. Now that my parents and grandparents have passed, I am now the patriarch of my own little clan. With Lisa my bride of 35 years, our family consist of two sons, two daughters, two son-in-laws, three grandchildren so far, and of course...George.
I'm retired so to speak, so my devote my time to developing this website. Writing essays for social media, and working more or less as an independently published author. I also write poetry and like pretending I'm a photographer.
