Fella Is Unhappy


Did you just say to yourself, “So what? Why do you need to tell us about your unhappiness? Stick with the Foolishness that has made you world famous.” …Or has it?

I can’t help myself. I got to peck this one out and you will not find a scintilla of foolishness (other than my becoming World Famous above) in it.

I was married to a wonderful lady for 1 day short of 62 and a half years. That lady bore us 4 wonderful children. Those children bore 11 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. That lady made me happy. That lady laughed a lot. That lady even laughed at my jokes. The only time that lady made me unhappy was when she died.

Dad, the depth of your sadness says so much about the life and love you shared with Mom. I know how deeply you miss her. Love you, Lex

I loved watching you and mom together. Your marriage changed and shifted as your life changed. Being in a position to watch this changing has been an honor. I love you dad. And I miss mom terribly.

Alex , I am so sorry to hear that Penney has passed away. I know you had many good years together. It is very hard to imagine.

Papa, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Nana’s beautiful smile and laugh. I will remember her showing us around her garden, I will remember the fun times we had in at your cabin in Dahlonega, where I got my first bee sting. Praying for you and sending you love from Montreal - your grandson Tyler
