Kook almost died,
Born to early.
Too small-that’s what everyone said.
It’s better to let go.
But Brian and Susie prayed on.
And put Joe in Charge
Of God-fathering.
Full of light and jokes,
Joe kept Kook laughing.
As the years passed, Kook got healthy
But Joe got sick.
There was still laughter and light
That was Joe’s way.
Kook couldn't’ help him.
She could only hug him.
It’s better to let go.
Tell him good-bye-
And pray that isn’t the last time,
Kook and Joe
will see eye to eye.

love this pic. Loved Brian and Joe. They sure loved each other.
ReplyDeleteBrian and Joe were definitely co-leaders of the enthusiasm pack. I can visualize them doing the broom dance.
ReplyDeleteYea, we are so lucky to have loved them. Yes, it did hurt to lose them.. They didn't get to really Retire....but their lives were so good.. they lived every day! some people hold back on life, waiting to " Retire" well... they lose what Brian and Joe had..
ReplyDeleteThey lived their lives! I am proud of both of them... they are greatly missed! But they had more then most when it comes to family.. MIke once said," I am so lucky to have had Joe for 25 summers just hanging around canoes, with a six pack talking about lost canoes.... even if there wasn't one
Still SO good.
ReplyDeleteGod, I miss them so much!
