Big Red's Gift

Big Red's Gift

We have been given a strange and wonderful gift.

 A gift we have cherished privately and even jealously.

The gift of being with your father for the last few months of his life,

Both good and bad,

I would never have wanted it any other way. 

I would never have wanted to miss a single second of contact with him. 

I am glad we were the last people he saw and heard on this earth.

It was truly a gift from God.
