Nobody

By Thomas Stewart

This story took place in 1958 in Sand Mountain, Alabama, which was Raccoon Mountain as the locals called it. As it was such a compelling and inspirational story to be told, this story was written many years later on June 16 through 30 of 2010 in Fort Payne, Alabama.

Epilogue

A Message from the Author

This story took place during the time I was a young boy of five or six. The story is one that was memorable and one of inspiration that compelled me to write of my experience of traveling to see my family who lived in the foothills of Sand Mountain, Alabama. On this particular Sunday-morning journey, I thought I was someone special; however, I came back home with the feeling of being a nobody. I left knowing that I was part of my grandmother’s family that lived in the foothills of Sand Mountain in Alabama. The love, hospitality, and humility that they showed me inspired me beyond all measure. My family was poor, and even though they had nothing, they were still very happy with the simple things of life and by being themselves. Fifty years later, as I sat on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama, I recalled this story in my mind as the waves rolled onto the shore and washed away with the tide.

Acknowledgment

This story would not be possible without the help of my family and friends who have given me the encouragement and support to write this story about my grandmother’s family who lived in the foothills of Sand Mountain, Alabama. I would love to give thanks to my daughter-in-law Briana Stewart and Robin Toll for their countless hours
