Who's going to wave to me now . . .

Puppies and Dante's Pop told me at breakfast that 'Dūggan" aka 'Butch' or Donald has died. Phew, that just takes the wind right out of my sails. Who's going to wave to me now as I sit on my swing to contemplate the world and appreciate all the good things in our lives? I've known Dūggan since Kindergarten and he never stopped teasing until now. Well, perhaps he's messing around with God too! His wife, kids and grand kids will miss him. It seems he died doing what he loved. After shooting a deer he collapsed as he tried to pick up the eight point buck. I'm glad it wasn't one of my crazy deer that got him. Damnation. He has a wonderful family and will be missed.
