Bake
Why do people have to die? About five years ago, I started a blog and it was because I needed to express some thoughts about a man that died that meant a great deal to me. Today, I am prompted to do the same. Bake was a one of a kind guy...they don't make him like that anymore. My heart aches for his daughter, wife and son today. I don't understand why people have to die. The time that we spend with our loved ones will never be enough...I realize that and wish that I could spend every waking moment with my family. I know that I can't though due to obligations and life but I am going to make the most of the moments that I do have left. We will miss you Bake....thank you for the stories and never ending supply of rootbeer barrels.

My facebook post to his daughter:
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, my heart aches for you.... Bake was a one of a kind guy. I can still hear his slow and steady voice telling me stories in his barn or on the front porch when we would stop by to visit after our summer A&W trips. I wish that I could remember the content of those stories... I am sure they were fond memories of his. Cherish all those moments that you hold in your heart. I know that it meant so much to him to have you there with him in his last moments, he loved you so much. I will pray for you, your mom and Ray and my hope is that you will find comfort in the long life of such a wonderful man, a loving father even though the time will never be long enough. I love you Mar...I can't wait to hug you. ♥
