Hey buddy, it’s me that 10 year old kid that always hung around. I’m 23 now, graduated college, started my career, now on my way to becoming a doctor. I never got a chance to say goodbye to ya, but you’ve always come up in my thoughts from time to time. My first time at a casino, my first time at the bars, took a couple shots for ya. We always talked about you taking me fishing for the first time. Well I finally went…. I can see why you loved it so much. I thought about you catching my first wiper, all the many that came after. I never got to thank you, for my first football, my first fishing rod, all those snacks you let me help ya eat. You taught me about talking girls, how to play poker, and man I miss those cold nights where I’d help ya with the firewood and keeping the fireplace going. The chiefs have 2 superbowls now… I know hard to believe!! I wish you were there witness it man. Alabama is still Alabama surprise surprise. The short time we had together, you were a father figure to me, helped me become who I am today. Thank you Clint, I hope to pass on the mentorship you gave me all those years ago.
