Big Al. I think of you often n miss your smile. Al could do anything. I watched him built boats n rebuild trucks. We hanged out early in life. Always willing n ready to help. I remember he had a Great Dane when we were younger. We would hang with dozens of friends at a campfire. good times all of them.
Wish we could have another one !

The Little Ship

I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, He is gone.

But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, He is gone a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, Here he comes!
