Wow 10 years has passed already it seems like only yesterday we was talking on the phone. I miss you everyday brother. I find myself thinking about you all the time. Time is short on this earth and your time was cut way to short. I know you would be proud of me my life has changed so much in the last 6 years I am still drug and alcohol free. I’m still living in the country I don’t believe I will ever live on the north side again I don’t even like going to Houston anymore. Well brother I love and miss you one day We will be together again.

i am saddened. after so many years apart, we met for just a few hours. he gave me some gifts, which sadly were lost/destroyed. i know i was kind of harsh in my questions to him. it hurts now, not only because there were so many questions i wanted to ask, but didnt get the chance to. rage that i grew up with wanted answers to questions i knew would hurt if i asked, but i couldn't help myself. he came to me, in an attempt to connect and show me love, and all he got in return was my rage and venom.

would i have been different if i knew that was the last time i would see him, that my last words to a man i wanted so dearly in my life would be filled with accusations, and years of pain? it hurts, thinking how much i wanted him, wanted him to know how much i loved him, how much i missed him, but instead of expressing this, i interrogated him. i drilled him for answers to questions that he honestly couldn't answer in 200 years, but less in the few hours that we met.

even now, my tears run wild, and i cannot stop them. i hurt because i know he knew how much i loved him, and i know he knew i didnt want to ask the questions i asked. i didnt want our time together to be spent with him on the defensive. but he accepted all i gave him with grace. he kept his temper. not once did i hear anger or agitation. not a hint of fear, but regret, i heard pain in his voice. and joy. the kind of joy that only a father can show when he is proud of his kids. i could tell my words hurt, but he didnt let it bother him. and this hurts me. it hurts me that i wasnt as much of a man at that time as he was.

he knew what was in store for him. he knew that his absence had caused a bitterness that wouldn't be easily resolved. and he accepted this and showed. knowing i would probably hurt him with words, and he showed.

sadly, this is one of the few memories i have with my dad, but i do know one thing, this one act has earned him so much respect. it takes a great man to know he is walking into a place where pain and bitterness towards him resides, and having every chance to make an excuse to not arrive, yet still shows.

so, say what you will, i love and respect my dad, for even though there is little experience, in just a few hours, he proved himself a greater man than most ever hope to be.

dad, you reside in a category few obtain. you and poppy. yall are the greatest men, the bravest men i know. forever love and respect.

although i didnt know much, it saddens me that i wont be able to get to know more. there is so much i wanted to ask, so much that only you could answer, sadly, i am left to only wonder what the answers might have been. my only regret is that the time i knew you was cut so short, and now i am left with this void that none can fill.

Atale of two worms

July 19, 2012

We were in Sierra Blanca,where Mike was rebuilding a truckstop,I had a broken leg and Mike went across into Mexico and came back with a bottle of Tequila,with two worms in it.I drank a bunch of drinks one night,the next morning he came to see if I wanted to go to breakfast,and naturally I had a major hangover and the last thing I wanted was food.So as I groaned in agony he said'Well I guess you dont want any food,I see you already had breakfast'When I peeked out one tortured eye he ws holding the nearly empty bottle up.pointing out that the two worms were gone. When I crawled back from the bathroom he showed me the two worms I thought I had swallowed were in a cup,where he put them when he removed them while I was still sleeping. Took a very long time before I could even think about tequila,let alone drink it.
