Last night I had to go through my dads stuff to find his discharge papers and I went through all the pages in these two very big books he has about his history and I was overwhelmed with it all and all that he had in it. Boy am I lucky to have all of this in my possession. Or is it those that have gone on before me are the lucky ones. Yes I do think so! Anyways the task at hand was to find this paper so that he can be buried in Arlington, Virginia. I think he will be so far away from us that it kinda bothers me a little. However I think of if he wasn't suppose to be buried there, I don't think Michael would be living there right now. I do believe in fate. This is fate. The funny thing about finding this paper is that I had to go through all of the pages in two very large books and of course it was the last page in the last book that looked at.( All those times you wanted me to sit down with you and look at your book well you finally got me sitting down...) In between the pages, I found his thoughts and ideas about the Indian ancestry that he felt so dear to him late in his life. This was truly an inspiration to me and that I need to get his work done for his family I don't really know how much work was ever done for his family. Dads brother Raymond said he had done it all but I just don't know. This will be something to do in the future.
Dad I promise we will be all together. As Summer sang at your memorial "Families can be together Forever". This is my promise to you! I love you Dad! By the way I miss you too!
