It isnt about me its about you, her, him. its about the mountains the blue skies. its about living without regrets without fear and hate. its about living, loving, and dying but never thinking about it.
from Great Aunt Ida
I MET HIM TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
HE WAS A PRECIOUS THREE YEAR OLD
IRISH RED HAIR AND PALE BLUE EYES
HIS HAIR CAUGHT MY ATTENTION
HIS SPARLKING EYES SMILED
HIS TURNED UP LIPS
AND OPEN ARMS WERE THERE TO GREET ME
HIS OLD GREAT AUNT IDA
WE WERE VISITING LOU AND RUBY, HIS
DEAR GRANDPARENTS
THEY LOVINGLY CARED FOR HIM
AND HIS SISTER, PENNIE
WHILE THEIR MOTHER PHYLLIS
FINISHED BECOMING
A COMPUTER SCIENTIST AT THE
MONTANA UNIVERSITY.
SOME YEARS LATER I REMEMBERED
MEETING HIM IN MASS. AT AN
ANNUAL BLUE GRASS FESTIVAL
WHERE HIS MOTHER PLAYED THE DOBRO
WHICH SHE LOVES TO DO
HE HAD GROWN TO BE A YOUNG
TEENAGER, EXPLORING
IT WAS BACK IN MISSOULA
AT HIS GRANDPARENTS HOUSE
I VISITED HIM DURING HIS COLLEGE YEARS
AT MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY IN BOZEMAN
LATER AFTER A BIG FAMILY CELEBRATION
I PACKED HIM LEFTOVERS TO LAST HIM A WEEK
BACK IN FT. COLLINS, COLORADO
DOING SOME CONSTRUCTION WORK
I SO ENJOYED HIS COMPANY, HIS
DELIGHTFUL SMILE AND HUGS GOODBYE
YEARS PASSED WHILE HE SPENT WINTERS
IMPROVING HIS SKIING ABILITY
ACROSS THE STREET FROM RUBYS RESERVE
STREET INN IN A SMALL CAFE
HIS MOTHER, PHYLISS AND I SEARCHED
SKI PUBLICATIONS FOR PICTURES
OF HIM FLYING ON HIS SKIS
FROM A HIGH CLIFF
WE FOUND HIS PICTURES AND GIGGLED
TOGETHER, WITH PRIDE AND JOY
HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO EXCELLING
AND BECOMING AN EXTREME SKIER
ONE OF THE BEST IN THE NORTHWEST
AND TO BE REMEMBERED IN
COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE USA
SKIING WAS HIS LIFE. TO KNOW HIM
WAS TO LOVE HIM AND ADMIRE
HIS DEDICATION TO SKIING
WHICH GAVE HIM PEACE.
