the reason that I never give up...

I am up at 3:22 am painting and listening to pandora radio when a punk rock song comes on singing "remember me now" followed by a Bouncing Souls song called "kids and Heros"... suddenly I realize that today is the third year anniversary of my Dad's untimely death and I broke into tears. I will always miss him, I remember when I was a little boy I used to lay on his chest and think he was the biggest man in the world. I would try to time my breaths with his. He had honor and he taught me to be a man, he is the reason that I never give up and work untill 4 am every morning to try and bring a better life to my children. Now his ashes rest on a shelf in my studio overlooking my work area, but his spirit lives on.

 Never take the people you love for granted, our time here together is limited.


Rest in Peace Gene Raymond Ferguson
