"If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth." Chief Seattle of the Suwamish Tribe from a letter to President Franklin Pierce
Andy and OpieMY CHRISTMAS WISH
Well, I have been trying to come up with enough to say in order to fill up a Christmas journal, (For me, it's not X-mas or holiday. I just can't remove Christ from it) and this is the best I can do so far.
I guess the most excited Christmas morning I can remember would have to be in 1969 (when I was eleven) when I woke up and found a brand new set of drums with my name on it. It was a present my parents would grow to regret, because for years afterward, I would come home from school everyday and spend hours beating the heck out of them. And years later, when I was in my first paying band, it was those same drums, with a few additions that went on stage with me. While I later returned to guitar in my last few bands, and never played drums again, it was those drums that started everything.
What makes them stand out so much to me now, I guess is realizing how little we had for luxurys, and seeing how much a set of drums costs. It makes me see how much my dad was willing to sacrifice, just to make a little boy happy. And he knew I loved music.
Now, every year since my wreck and disability he continues to ask what I want for Christmas, and unless something changes, I already have all but one of the presents I want. I will spend the day with my parents, eating my moms turkey and dressing and all the veggies, listening and talking to, and occasionally laughing with both of my parents. The only thing keeping it from being perfect will probably be my brother's failure to contact us at all again. But still the biggest present I want is to be in the presence (or should I say present) of my parents one more year; just like it's been my wish every Christmas for years now.
Nothing they could put in any box under any tree will make me smile any bigger!!!
And when that's all done, I'm gonna run back home to talk to my friends in hope that all of them and you have had the happiest and most blessed CHRISTmas ever.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!! And GOD bless us everyone
