In the spring of 2010 mom tells me something that dad doesn’t want to share yet. When I hear it, I cry. She tells me she doesn’t know why.
My father told me stories about lavish adventures, bike rides in the woods, forts by the beach. “I went up to Canada to stay with Bill,” my father tells me, one day. “I walked into his house and the first thing that I saw was a giant moose on the kitchen counter. My father used to hunt”, dad tells me now. “He would bring back all sorts of animals, clean them, and hang them in our basement to dry. Bill and I hated it, but I guess Bill had carried out the tradition. My brother has always had so much life in him. I hope someday you will meet him.”
(a song)
Everything was in bloom
But I just sat there
Watching shadows
Dance around my room
I let my love fall into his arms
The way he brought me up to be
I hope he will inspire
Somebody new
And although he is gone
I still have the memories
And they will move me along
And they will move me along
