You, undoubtedly, have his same zest and enthusiasm for life. Do you remember reading, a few weeks back, a story about twin deaf brothers who were slowly growing blind? They could not bear the thought of being unable to communicate with each other, so they got a doctor to perform assisted suicides. After reading about your father, I can't help but think of all that those brothers missed. <br /><br />Bella Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139728758198482234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768410634619342671.post-46327412881677621202013-03-20T22:28:05.242-05:002013-03-20T22:28:05.242-05:00Maybe hole never filled, except by "time"...Maybe hole never filled, except by "time".

On contrary, those words of love for God and the Universe say to us all that he, who died 7 days later, is a SURE top candidate for the title "Saint"...a very happy thought!

On "ZEROº" mornings, only the "blind guy" could get the old John Deer to start--as six of his live-in hired hands stood around and watched. I, age six, was there.<br /><br />Just occurred to me: Wonder if the tractor name "John Deer" has anything to do with the words: "Dear John"...???
