These stories are my personal reflections. As you travel with me throughout time, I hope that you laugh, cry, and are held at awe. I know my style is different, it is truly what you have been missing. This book of short stories, will force you do a double take within your own paralleles; experience emotions that make you look back at yourself. The times of life are never forgotten; they should tickle you for ever. I am a writer, and now you will feel my voice. Welcome to The Reflections of Landy F.Thompson, Jr. I have done, as the saying goes, just do you. The soul purpose of a writer visiting his reflections is to influence you in some way through his work. My daughter Malanni Thompson this is my gift to you the stories I wrote to share our families history with you I love you Boo.
