Jim and I had lunch in town... kissed a long goodbye in the parking lot with the cottonwood fluff falling down around us like snow in July... and then he boarded a plane for Colorado...
He never made it to Salida to see the kids and they never made it to Canon City to see him...
he only made it as far as here...
he only made it as far as here...
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him still.
James "Jim" Glenn Durgan ~ December 19, 1970 - July 10, 2008
Waddles, I'm honoring your memory today with pizza and ice cream because those two foods always remind me of you. I'm pouring a shot of your Scotch to put on the mantle and I'm curling up with a good book and one of your shirts... it won't bring you back but it might make me feel like you're home for the afternoon because there are still days when walking in the door without you being here are more than I can handle. I love you still more today 1095 days later than I could have ever imagined on that afternoon. Nobody holds a candle to you. Nobody.
Love always and forever,
~ Tara Ann*
