and I forgot

[unwitting_coma]

I heard from the uncle today, he has this to say

"I don't want nobody driving up here boo hooing about me dying. I've had a good life, when I wanted to go somewhere I went, and when I wanted to do something I did it. I'm happy."

This is why he is important to me. He speaks my mind with an ancient tongue.

I used to recoil from that. part of me still does. I remember papaw saying something akin to this (though not as eloquent) weeks before he died. he forced dad to let him leave the hospital though he had only weeks left. so for thanksgiving and christmas he sat on the couch in the living room while everyone went about the holidays. when someone tried to make a big deal, he told them to go back in the kitchen. otherwise he was cool with it. then went mamaw went, this made sense to me.

but I'll still cock punch you if you ever say this to me...unless were like ninety.
