Bones never had a chance—
no, not from day one.  

Circumstances of birth,
location,
and simple intellect
(He was never a bright child.)
were always stacked against him.  

Those of us,
who knew him,
can only hold him
in our hearts.  

He was a good
and loyal friend.  

We miss you Bones.

Bobby

Thanks dear Juju,

Yes, it is sad.  I'm thinking of Bones a lot during the holiday.

Love Bobby

Very sad and powerful.

How you capture such emotion in so little words is incredible.

Bobby,

And now many of us hold Bones in our hearts and he has been washed with our tears.  There are too many Bones in this world.

Love,

Thanks dear Alison,

You are absolutely right.  There are too many Bones in this world.  He was such a sad kid.  Thanks for thinking of him.

Love Bobby

Thanks Hal,

For reading and commenting.

No, I'm afraid Bones wasn't much of a planner.
