Train Platforms as School Rooms

2. “Peg, do you think I can pull the rope?” The question was asked before we made marks on each of our cows. He had pulled the rope for years. He knew the answer before he asked, but he asked anyway. I answered, “Dad, I know you can’t pull it for all the cows, but for a few you will do great. You get out here and we will give it a chance.” Until the last moment on the cows, to be exact, there were three left, I finally saw him driving slowly down the hill.
As he approached, we stopped to wait for him. He drove over slowly, parked his car and got out with great difficulty. He made his way to the rope, not an easy task at 93. Tears were running down his face as well as mine. Dad's tears weren’t tears of sadness for what he was no longer able to do, but tears of thankfulness that he was able to pull the rope for three cows. His last words when he left, “There, I worked, now I can eat!” That day, those three cows were just what he needed.
It was the last time my dad would pull the rope. At the age of 95 my dad changed his address from earth to heaven, a day he had longed for. He was such a diamond in my life. My dad passed on his love of birds and all farm animals to me. He used to be a brave World War I pilot. He loved my mother, his family, his country, and his friends. The lessons he taught me are ones that will never be forgotten. I am grateful for the time and beautiful memories.
