Last night was New Year's Eve. A friend brought us some champagne and we were eager to have some along with a delicious serving of lasagna. I russelled up some glasses and poured the bubbly. As Kirby was handing them out we realized I had poured one too many. It was Poppy's glass. I included him, as I always do, without even thinking twice about it. Tears came when in a split second I realized that he is not here.
But he IS included. He is still in all the moments of our lives even now. We see his smile in our minds eye, hear his laugh, repeat his famous sayings and sense his wisdom. He will always be included because of the time and impact he made on our souls, our deep souls.

Thank You, Stephanie, for sharing your family's life with us in the recent weeks. I only recently got better aquainted with your dad and yet I feel I've known him whole life. I truly miss him. I don't know what your college major was but it sure shows in your writing skills. That didn't come out right but I think you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteThank You again,
Steve
