I Knew Mr. Cogbill through New Kent Middle School where his children attended. I always enjoyed his calls and visits when he picked up his kids. He was a very joyous man. I will miss him.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dad;
I will miss you! Even though our lives had different paths, love is unconditional. The love we had for you showed the last days of your life. I love you, and will miss your late night calls.
