He's still here, just not as we remembered him.

My Pops was always in "low gear", never got in a hurry for anything. That was just who he was and how he approached life. He wasn't habitually late or anything, he was just never got in a hurry for anything.

Anyway, about 2 days after we buried him, my mom saw a large turtle passing through the front yard at a large turtle's pace. She has always said that was Pops. She even took a pic to prove she wasn't BSing.

Now, a week or two ago, she had a blue heron, maybe....it was hard to tell from the video, pass through the yard. Tall, long legged, and slowly covering alot of ground. She was convinced that was my uncle (right the opposite build of my dad).

She's funny.
