We knew each other as well as two could. We played in the dirt together at Lucky Peak, ate lunch in the VW bus with your cousin and boxed trees with him and my mother. I saw Pete with your car and mistook him for you, but was later told he was your Irish twin. My son met your cousin at the sale yard in Caldwell.

The wheel of life continues to turn. I will remember us through all time and I will be with you again. You dance in my dreams still...
