Gone From My Sight
By Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying...

I spoke with Yogi the week that he got the bad news about his health. He PM'd me saying he was interested in the 30.06 brass that I had posted about.
I called him the next day and he sadly informed me that he would have to back out due to just being told he was terminal and had a few days to live.
He was a real gentleman and chuckled about the fact he moved from Hawaii to Fredericksburg Texas and bought 10 acres of land so he could shoot his guns.
Never did he think the neighbors cows would all come running to the fence when they heard his truck. I explained that the cows were used to the truck being the method of delivering food to them.
He did have one regret, he wanted the brass I had offered so he could reload them, and shoot them in his Ohio Ordance M1919 BAR. Upon his departure from Hawaii, he left all of his ammunition behind.
He and his friend bought two when the guns first came out and had never shot it.
I will miss him.

I'm sorry to hear it but I didn't think he was kidding. I hope he went painlessly..........
I missed this until just now. Farewell, YogiBear. Your thread shows you left us with class and style. Well done, and happy trails.
May the Lord hold Yogi's family in the palm of His hand. Grant them Peace.
Yogi, your farewell, and passing has granted us all a great deal of introspection. May we all be better for it.

Most sad to hear the passing, but the price of living is the going away. Prayers and best wishes for all who loved and knew Yogi...
