This morning as always went to visit Mom – I usually get a couple of McMuffins on the way down and we have a late breakfast together.
After we ate in the rec room, reading the paper, she for some reason was digging in a tin box next to her chair – the recliner Pappy always used. I walked back into the room after a bathroom vist and she said, “You want this?” It’s exactly the size and shape I wanted to carry in my pocket.
My birthday’s next Sunday. Thanks, Pap. I love ya, man.
Sure he is, Ed.
He never gave me anything new for my birthday…just old half worn-out stuff that he knew I’d love. Now I’m old and half worn out myself, and he still has his hand on my shoulder. 🙂
SEE;
Pappy;s still lookin out for yea.
