However, THE major force, we believe, is an angelic host which has an unknown but quietly understood destiny for everybody. As you know, my father was among Mike's best friends for a very long time. Mike would always kid Dave about how well life was treating the little guy. They were two guys who would stand side by side, one big, big force and one little big force who enjoyed the moments of life. I used to kid Dave about his obligations before he left. I asked him to make sure he let me know before he checked out. He did. I made that request because, like the circumstances with Mike, my mom left in 1986 in a tough surprise. Force Majeure literally means "greater force". These clauses excuse a party from liability if some unforeseen event beyond the control of that party prevents it from performing its obligations. Mike is excused. Mike was, among many, a major force for his family. However, THE major force, we believe, is an angelic host which has an unknown but quietly understood destiny for everybody.

I am fortunate that he is still alive and farming everyday. He has instilled morals and values that will serve me well throughout my lifetime and the lifetime of my children. He knows what is important in life and knows what is not. Sometimes the most important aspects of life are the simpliest yet the hardest to learn. We all carry with us what we have learned from our parents and therefore they will live forever in our hearts and memories.

But in the end, saying good-bye to someone we love - at any age - is just too damned hard to bear.
