Welcome to Tales By Tom. This is the tenth and final installment of Tom Cagley Sr's short story collections entitled, “Innocents All.”   

Our final  is (Story 18) Gramps.   He was Thomas Matthew Karrigan, my mother’s father. My father called him lazy, I called him the sweetest man I ever knew. He taught me about pencils and what they mean in our lives.

In two weeks we begin a new series! 

I encourage you to provide feedback on these stories or any of the earlier shorts by email at [email protected] or by voicemail at 1 206 339 5456.
