Oh well Gene, dont let it bite you.
We just saw my old father off on his trip to the heavenly plains. So he can
ride the wild colts again, bareback, like he did when he was young.
There might have been some rough patches on the way you know, but it never
got him down. His smile was there as always.
I would not have liked to miss the last weeks for anything in the world.
So there you have my take on being not young anymore.
