What the Obituary Doesn'T Say
What the obituary doesn’t say & I want to remember is how you were a family leader making our breakfasts, driving us to school, and graduating college.
What the obituary doesn’t say & I want to remember are the bottle rockets fights, kicking the can, riding the lawnmower, sleeping in the boat's cuddy cabin, the skipping of Sunday school by entering the cave above the dam in our Sunday best.
What the obituary doesn’t say & I want to remember are all the stories you told or that were told about you from the funny to the obscene and even to the obnoxious.
What the obituary doesn’t say & I want to remember is the character, the laugh, and the life of you.
