Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
In loving memory of George "John Wayne" Bolduc, our hero.
"Just between You, Me & The Fencepost"

Hey Grandpa.. I want to thank you for taking on the responsibility of raising me, when you didn't have to. I am very lucky to have had the conversations we had. You taught me a lot that I will be able to hand down to my children. I love you deeply for that. I will cherish the moments we fished together, the times you showed me how to pan for gold, how to hunt rabbit and all the moments we had one on one. I will deeply miss you and our conversations. Love your grandson Nathan..R.I.P.

Some people would say you're not my 'Real' Dad but I know this isn't true. For you've been a 'real' Dad to me in all the things we've been through. Although you're not my birth Dad, You've loved me since I was small, the road has not been easy, I'm sure at times you've wondered, how you even got here at all. There may have been times when I was distant, resenting you because you weren't my 'real' Dad, and when the going got real rough at times, I'm sure you felt you'd been had, but time is the great healer if you let her, she's patient and loving and kind, one day I woke up from my slumber, and about Big George, I just changed my mind. I decided you weren't such a bad guy, you really seemed like you cared, perhaps I could open my heart just a bit, a little bit if I dared. You stood there with arms wide open, when I decided to take 'the chance', it seemed so natural and made such sense, like a lovely, well-choreographed dance. He never held it against me, those early days when I wasn't so sure. As I sit here alone with my thoughts, I keep reminiscing about the times we shared, our own little secrets, I keep thinking about how much he cared. I'm doing all I can to try and stay strong, it feels as though a part of me is gone. My Fathers passing was so long and slow, I don't have the words to express how it has taken its toll, my family is broken but still very precious to me, my only prayer I have left is that we will all learn to just 'see'. I am eternally grateful to you Dad because you've treated me as your own xoxo
