I had two cousins who were great outdoor lovers like I do. One
passed away last week.
The three of us make a good trio each time we
go out to hunt or fish. We usually share pickups or
some times even take two pickups. We have gone
far and near just to hunt or fish.
But he just passed away last week because of
cancer.
He never told us other two about his condition. But his
behaviors last year showed that he had some health
problems. One time I was out of town and he said
he wanted me to drop something off to him. I was
on my way to another appointment and I couldn't go
to his house. So, I asked him to meet up with me
at the front door of a Home Depot store. When I got
to the store, I didn't see him at the front. I called him and
he said he was right where I told him to be. Then he said
he was right by the street curb. I went there and he was
right under the Home Depot sign by the street. I had expected
him to be at the entrance to the Home Depot building.
Then later he wanted me to meet up with him for coffee
at a coffee shop. He managed to get to the parking lot
of Starbucks before I got there. I parked next to his
truck and we walked towards the Starbucks building. There
was another shop connected to the building. I opened the Starbucks
door and entered it. He was just right behind me. But he didn't
go into the same door I was going. Instead, he opened the other door
and went into the other store. I saw that he wasn't coming in, so I had
to go to the other store to tell him that wasn't the place for us.
I knew something wasn't right about him anymore but I didn't question him.
He had given us excuses for not going hunting and fishing lately. Then last
week his wife told us that he has passed away at holme.
