I stood next to my aged father, of 97 years. He looked around the saddle shop. His brown eyes shed some tears. The saddle shop is where my father kept the tack and gear. The smell of leather waifed a memory of a yesteryear. kAmxE’D H96C6 >J 72E96C E2F89E >6 >@C6 E92? =62E96C 8@@5D C6A2:C] x 4@F=5 962C 9:D H@C5D @7 D@F?5 25G:46 DE:== 92?8:?8 :?

The young men teased when he entered the room. The years had passed him all too soon. His twisted fingers held the cane that propped him up through years of pain. He sat down at the breakfast table. His chair he’d claimed for years. His duties now were bunkhouse guard. A job made by his peers. kAmw6 =@@<65 E96 A2CE @7 ~=5 r@H3@J] w:D HC:?<=65[ H62E96C65 9:56] (:E9 H62< =@?8 8C2J:D9 H9:D<6CD D9@H:?8 @77 9:D D6?:@C D:56]k^AmkAmw:D 4@=5[ 52C< 6J6D 4@F=5 E6== 2 DE@CJ[ :7 J@F =@@<65 @?

“Do you believe in angels?” My grandpa once asked me. I told him that my mother was as close as one could be. I was only ten and didn’t know what Grandpa knew. But I hoped there were some angels, maybe Grandpa knew a few. kAm|J 8C2?5A2’D 6J6D D9@?6 3C:89E 2D DE2CD] w:D E9@F89ED H6C6 52JD @7 @=5] x H2D ‘3@FE E@ 962C 2 DE@CJ[ @?6 E92E 96 925 ?6G6C E@=5]k^AmkAmvC2?5A2 D2:5 96’5 D66? 2?

I drove on down the driveway, then I stepped out of my truck. The guard dog took one look at me. Just call me, “Sittin’ duck!”I read the sign, “Beware of dog,” a little bit too late. His name was Copper. He was eyeing me like Copper bait. kAm|@DE @C?6CJ 5@8D H:== 8:G6 2 32C<[ 3FE D6=5@> H:== E96J 3:E6] x 7:8FC65 x H2D D276] %@@ 325[ >J 7:8FC:?8 H2D?’E C:89E]k^AmkAmx 62D65 >J H2J FA E@ E96 A@C49] %96 >FE 5:5 ?@E 2AAC@G6] x’5 H@C? @FE >J D9@CE H6=4@>6] $@@?
