Be Thou At Peace

Due to fate, I was unable to know you, as a son should know his father. I have at times wondered what life would have been like, had you not been killed in the accident. Sometimes I wish I had a time machine, so I could meet you and talk with you. See how we are alike and how we are different. You could meet your grandchildren. They have your musical talent. Quite talented on the piano and the saxaphone. I was only six weeks old, when you were taken away. Hope you got to see me often, before that fateful day. Love, Your Son, Earl |
