Bones would have loved to have lived past the age of fourteen. He would have loved to have married his sweet Griselda, and to have had children of his own. He had all the human aspirations, and dreams, of a person twice his age. Even though the world did not know it, Bones had very mature thought processes running through his head. Such was not to be the case— his loving, and all knowing God had other plans for Bones. Bobby |

Thanks Ethome, Thanks for reading, and commenting. Yes, they certainly do, most especially in Bones line of work. Bobby |

I am sorry that Bones' dreams never came to fruition, but I bet (and don't mind being wrong) that Bones never dreamt of being friends with a horse like Flicka! - and wow! now he has Flicka with him all the time in Heaven! - Owl |

Thanks dear Owl, Bones, of course had never met Flicka. I haven't seen a horse on the streets of Bones hood in years. Of course Bones and Flicka are now very "tight". Love Bobby |

Bones will realize his dreams on other levels of existence. I enjoyed this write, dear Bobby, even though it's sad, because it also conveys trust in higher designs. Love, Margherita |

Bones was awesome. I bet griselda had a fancy for him too. Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

Thanks Paul, In many ways Bones was a very regular person. Yes, Griselda was very close to Bones. They would have made a lovely family. Bobby |

Thanks dear Linda, Bones and I were good friends, and neighbors. We spent many hours sitting on the settlement house steps talking. Love Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (11-08-2008 08:48 PM).] |
