Goodbye Grandpa

Tracy's Grandpa just died. He waited until his birthday. He waited until the exact time that Grandma died, two weeks ago. 8:37 PM. It's hard to reckon with this void, now that they are both gone. It will take some getting used to. I'm still trying to get used to my grandparent's being gone after two years.


Honey, I Took The Fishing Boat

I took the boat out fishing,
and didn’t tell you that I went
Then before I knew it
all my fishing time was spent
Some angels pulled me over
and said that I must dock
I wasn’t even startled
so I must have been in shock
They wouldn’t let me make a phone call
just said they’d let you know
Then they said, “ Lay down the fishing poles”
and to heaven we did go
They dressed me in a flowing robe
I guess I’m in the choir
I sing a decent alto
but I can’t go much higher
Well, looks like I’m here to stay,
so you must follow aft
Don’t worry that I took the boat
I did leave you the raft
