I never really had that wise old man when I was younger. I think that in part is why I feel I grew up too fast. My grandfathers died when I was still in grammar school and my dad really wasn’t the sit down and recite wise verses type. My brother became close to that but damn, we were in bars drinking before that became reality. I did have a few when I coached Little League that, well, we’re close to the wise man concept, and I took them to be more mentors then wise souls.
This was great. I think I’m going to make my own ice cream cone and hope it doesn’t end up on the floor 🤭🤭
ps - dad came to me in the coffee shop today. Maybe I just now figured out why. 😇😇
That’s okay, Ken. I think you’ve always been wise beyond your years and your conscious awareness was your mentor.
I guess what I’m saying is, you turned out just fine. There are all sorts of paths to get from point A to point B. You happened to take the road less traveled and it all came out fine.
I’m proud to know you and proud to have you as a friend.
Loved this so very much ,C.J. . Not ever going to lie it brought tears to my eyes , and smiles . The whole story keeps you in to many emotions and deep feelings , you just can't stop reading it . Thanks for the tears and joy .You C.J. are awesome . hugs and peace
