Dad

Second edition...first post had duplicate YouTube links....meg

Dad

Yesterday the call came,

I felt a let down,

a relief,
a tear and a smile

and 

numbness,

what is next?

92 plus,

Overall,

His age and health

Was on the North side

of good.

It will take awhile for me to fully process,

That he's not there anymore,

At that town where 

I was born,

Held in Dad's arms,

Then passed around the family of those days,

and back to Mom.

Then I left that town,

Thinking I would return,

Seeing my parents less than I would like,

More noticeable as my parents went off, together,

Starting their next adventure,

They are free.

Last night had to tweet:

@USMC Dad, Richard Gerdt, 92, went to heaven today. A Marine in WW2, South Pacific. I didn't appreciate how tough he was. Rest in Peace.
