We visit the family tree today with Paul Gilmartin’s cousin, Paul Barnard. He shares stories of his past, from losing his baby sister to moving in with an entirely new family when he was 8 years old. He also shares beautiful thoughts on his time caretaking for his wife, who battled cancer for many years.
