Cheryl called 
Scott died.
On their first date Scott took mom to the Ohio State Fair
they fell in love or 
how would you say 
mom didn’t want to be alone when Cheryl and I left for college.
Scott matched mom’s requirements for a Christian marriage
he didn’t smoke or drink and he wasn’t mean.
Short-tempered sarcastic and crude
he loved to sing and fiddle at craft fairs and in community plays 
six months after mom died he married Carol
Cheryl and Frank continued to reconcile his checkbook
they managed his finances 
called to chat and 
sporadically visited him 
he survived on dialysis about another 10 years.
My spiritual life envisions the spark of God hosted within
I was thinking of Scott’s personality
on the way home from work today.
