Melvin would wake up and tell me about a reoccurring dream in which a man, dressed in black, would be pulling at his feet. I would dismiss the implication. He would also say, "At least I got to see some of my grandchildren."
After I saw the movie, The Notebook, I was angry with myself for not thinking to ask God to give Melvin and I the ending of the movie characters from that film.
Melvin's parents produced two sons and five daughters. His eldest sister has three sons, his brother had two sons and two daughters, another sister has two sons, another has one son, another has two daughters and we have three sons. Males prevail in this generation. This is poignant. Melvin, his brother and two brother in laws have proceeded us and now the sons must lead our family.
Heaven Knows
tomorrow
