CIRCLE OF LIFE

TODAY I GOT TO SEE HOLD AND FEED TOMMY'S FIRST LITTLE GRANDBABY BOY THAT WAS BORN ON TOMMY'S BIRHTDAY AFTER TOMMY'S DEATH IN NOV. THE BABY WAS BORN IN DEC JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS.


EVERYTIME WE WOULD GO OUT TOMMY WOULD BUY SOMETHING FOR THE BABY BEFORE HE WAS BORN IF HE SAW SOMETHING THAT HE WANTED HIM TO HAVE. HE BOUGHT HIM HIS FIRST OVERALLS, HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS STOCKING WHILE WE WERE OUT SHOPPING BEFORE THE BABY WAS BORN AND A LITTLE ONESIE THAT SAID I'M A RIDIN LITTLE DUDE. HIS NAME IS WILLIAM POWELL BOOKER. TOMMY'S LAST NAME WAS POWELL.


THE BABY NOT ONLY HAS TOMMY'S ( HIS GRANDFATHER'S ) NAME AND HIS B-DAY, BUT I THINK HE HAS HIS EYES AND HANDS. I HELD THE BABY FED HIM AND LET HIM SLEEP A LONG TIME IN MY ARMS
THINKING HOW TOMMY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE TO SEE HIM. TOMMY SAID HE WAS GOING TO TEACH WILLIAM POWELL HOW TO SPIT AND MAKE HIM A REAL COWBOY JUST LIKE HIM OUT OF THAT LITTLE BABY. HE PLAN TO KEEP HIM IN THE SUMMER AT THE RANCH AND LET HIM RIDE GOLFCARTS AND HORSES. I THINK SOMEHOW AS THE CIRLCE OF LIFE GOES THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE AND THIS BABY WILL BE FIRST A LITTLE BOY AND INTO A MAN JUST LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER WAS IN MANY WAYS. NOT JUST HIS EYES AND HANDS AND NAME OR B-DAY BUT IN MANY GREAT WAYS AND DO MANY GREAT THINGS IN HIS LIFE JUST LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER DID IN ALL OF HIS LIFE LIKE FIGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE AND AWAYS HELPING THE NEEDY AND THE UNDER DOG ALWAYS TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT AS FORTUNATE AS HE HAD BEEN IN HIS LIFE. ..





WILLIAM POWELL BOOKER.


LOOKING INTO THIS BABY'S EYES WAS JUST LIKE LOOKING INTO TOMMY'S EYES.
