I have lost two children now. I lost my mother, father and sister. But none is more harder to bear than losing a child. My three kids have been the greatest of help. Even Teddy the dog. Spike has been leaving him here each night and he jumps up on my bed and sleeps right beside me.
A big "Thank You" to everyone. Last night we had the one showing only and I was actually crowded to go outside to leave rooms for the guests. They ran out of chairs and had to bring in more. The word spread around the whole down and beyond. Some were even coming from out of state.
There were three passions in his life other than family. One was new born babies. He just loved to hold them and stare down at them.
Number Two - Abuse of children. Don't let him hear of continuing abuse. Specially sexually abuse. He would try his dang best to do you in. He once heard a little girl screaming in the women's room at the supermarket. He ran in, caught a pervert trying his best. Pirate tried his hardest to tear his throat out. The police arrived just in time. Pirate told them what he trying to do. "That's okay. We would have written it down as "Justifiable Homicide." Don't worry. You won't even have to testify in court. We know how to take care of this one. That idiot will spend his whole jail sentence (20years w/o parole) in solitary confinement.
The third is the elderly. Any elderly. "Do you realize just how many times I have hear your mother/father say they wished they saw their kids as often as other residents do?" They also told me about the "Wellness checks" he would do on some of the residents who had taken a fall or been recently sick. I never knew about that either. Also if he saw one of the residents coming from the bus stop totting heavy grocery bags, he would run to take the bags away from them, carry them to their apartment and even put the groceries away for them. I never knew that either. He never mentioned to me anything ever about all of this.
Pirate was no angel by any means. But he took real good care of me and the folks who are my neighbors in this building. Again. Thank you all so much for your good wishes and condolences along with all your support.

They never answer back, but in my heart I know what they are saying to me in reply. He can still be a comfort to you when you reminisce about him.
