I wanted to share a cute story that my brother Garry wrote. He had it framed and I found it at his home in Smartsville yesterday, while I was packing up the last of his things.  3/10/08 Yesterday was hard, the final trip to his property, and the 10th... one month he has been gone. It all still seems like a bad dream! I was glad I found this, it made the days end a bit better.




MY HAT


One early morning oh about five years ago, my father and I were sitting on the bank of Sacramento river, holding our fishing poles in our hand. I say holding our poles instead of fishing because, as usual we weren't catching a thing. We hadn't got a bite in the last six times out. I almost forgot what we were out there for. Getting up at 4:00 am and heading out to sit out on some cold, wet and soggy bank for 3 hours in total silence isn't my idea of exactly the most thrilling time of my life.
Well, anyway, we started B.S ing, since we both realized it wasn't very futile to go on any more and my dad apologized for the great fishing and said, Here son have my hat.
I was shocked, it was my fathers prize hat, he treasured it. I told him thanx and proceeded to put it on my head. It felt nice and comfortable. It wasn't the most beautiful hat, all white except for this patch that said, " Peterbuilt on it, but I loved it.
Every year I would go on vacation with my parents, While with them I would see some unique hat, something that no one else would get, and buy it. I treasure my hat collection, but of all the hats, I treasure that old " Peterbuilt" hat the most.

MOMMY

Bonnie Stephens Jun 06, 2012

ONE year ago I was led back to Woodland to be with Tina, Kurt, and Cameron, on what I believe is a Godly adventure. This year two great grand daughters have been born. Your big boy Lee is such a nice young man, you would be so proud to see how he has made positive changes in his life. Your three babies are so big now and doing great under the umbrella of their super mom Raquel. I will love you forever and miss you every day. Send love down to your pops today dear son. He misses you more than there are words to describe. He needs a miracle of healing from our God. I am thinking might like to take a ride on a Harley some time this year..and be not afraid of it either.

Today is FEB 10th 2012.. Today marks the day, my dear brother... it's now been 4 years since you left us to go on your journey..
You have not been around much, I wonder why? I thought you might stop in more at least to check in on Mom, she's been here in Woodland with me for 8 months now and thought I might have seen a few Garry signs around but haven't felt your spirit around for a long time.. I wonder why you don't come anymore? We are still here missing your laugh, your smile... your ladybugs...
I love you Bro... Love Tinky
