Im having trouble sleeping tonite so I started browsing postings. Im sure we have all heard this before, but at this moment this speaks volumes for me 2 family members that are slipping away in my life. And for the friends that were brought together Saturday night, for some it had been 30 years since they saw each other. Sunday on our way home from a great visit with friends and family my daughter, my mother Vickie Etris Davis, my father Jimmy L Davis, and myself stopped to see my grandfather who is in a nursing home in OKC, OK. We were having a good visit. My grandfather, Papa, was alert, talking, and seemed in good spirit. Then at about 4:15 pm everything changed and we witnessed what appears to have been another (God only knows how many, I lost track at 10) heart attack. It was very difficult and unnerving for me, and my daughter, of 7 years age, was stronger than I. Point of this is, No matter how old or young, anyone can go to meet their maker at any given time. And if we are not prepared and havent settled our squabbles and gotten our family issues straightened out you could be left with a hole I your heart and a feeling of regret and loss that can never be closed. I am prepared as best I can for whats going to happen to papa, and I believe my close friends and I made sure we all know just how special and how much we mean and have meant to each other for nearly 40 years, even with absence of presence. My son is the 2nd person which I mentioned is slipping away. Every day that we dont speak or embrace is another day lost that will never be regained and if something happened to either of us (God forbid) we would be left with things as they are and would have lost much precious time wasted on anger and then regret. There is no glue strong enough to repair the broken pieces that would be remaining of either one of us. So I hope and prey that someday soon he and I take these words to heart and make them a reality. There is nothing so bad that would ever make me walk away from his life or that could cause me to not be here for him,, short of my death. This to you, Trevor Davis, I promise.
