It's gonna be a little while....
Remember when you came home and I was waiting? I came up to you and asked you to shhoot the shotgun. You relented and held on to me as I pulled the trigger. BTW...sis will probably tell you I missed with the bb gun. I didn't... The pheasants were not what you worried about...you held me. You checked me out for wounds and.. I was okay. Dad, I remember. Our first deer hunt, at age nine. And neither of us knew I was nearly blind. But, you figured it out. You noticed...and you figured it out. And having my glasses makes me whole. In many ways. Thank you, Dad. And the years took thier toll. Why didn't you tell me that things would sneak up on me...and you. My camping and hunting partner suddenly couldn't move very well. I think about how I prayed...and did everything I could to get you one more big buck, and you got him...and thenn I got mine. Mom's still here. And she miss's you. You're not spread over there...because she asked me to wait. Until she dies...so her ashes can be spread with yours. I'm sorry Dad...I think you will want her with you. |

Prayers for you and your family. 
I am sorry for your loss. It has been a couple of years. A couple, heh...a few. And I have not fulfilled what he asked of me... I ended up running away to Alaska. I just didnt want to think about it. Though, I have. Mom and Dad will be spread upon the mountain when it is time. |

Said she never knew where he was when he was alive but she damn sure knows where he is now. |

OP: The one serious moment in the otherwise horrible Indiana Jones 4 was when Indy's friend says something to him along the lines of "We've reached the age when life stops giving us things, and starts taking them away." Everyone reaches this point sooner or later, I myself have recently entered into it, and I hope you can find some peace in the fact not that he is gone, but that such a fine man lived. |
