From where I come from, there isn’t many more means to get what you want, except to break your back for it. My Pa, now he was a back breaking hard worker, well you know what I I’m saying. He would be up before day break, and be at it till the the sun fell from the heavens above. He liked to say, I’ll out work that old sphere of fire in the heavens above even if it kills me.
Well, it eventually did. Pa passed last year, just before sunset, while cutting an old forty foot pine. He was 76 years old, he had no business attempting to drop that pine. I remember the day Timmy, my middle brother discovered him out there, on the track side of the Renners place. Timmy came stumbling down the slope from that area, with something in his grip, shouting, “Pa’s hurt, Pa’s hurt!”
I spotted him first and I could see it was Pa’s old gold pocket watch that Tim had. Pa adored that old pocket watch. He would say, My mother’s daddy gave that to me, the day I got married, and said, “time might fail you man, but love never will.”
My Pa was a great man, he adored us deeply, and he surely loved my mother. We buried him the next Saturday, and every person that knew him came from far away to show their respects. For some reason, which we don’t know to this day, Pa left me that old pocket watch. It still works, and I keep it on the book shelf in my room. Time hasn’t failed yet, and neither has our love.
