There comes a time, beyond age, past the point most folk give up. Don't get to see it if you got a weak constitution, so lots never get to see it. Fanny and me been through some bad times, and good ones. When Bobby was killed in '74, almost lost Fanny to the blues, she's powerful strong though.
Funny how little stuff makes all the difference when you get ready ta meet your maker, Like paintin' the house. Didn't think much about it when doin' it, but 'ol Fanny an me was closer then than ever, just paintin' and talkin'.
Guess I'm ready to go....I know Fanny is, she said as much last night. Nothin' for it now but to wait, and paint.
