Aw yes,
Your phone call definitely got my emotions flowing. The memories of our loved ones are sweet indeed. You have written well the closeness of your family and pets.
A good read, TK, thanks for sharing such a tender part of your life.

Hi, TK...
So sorry you've lost a son and your wife. So very sad. It's hard enough to lose a spouse, but a child --- nothing worse.
This is a very special tribute to them. One you should be proud of. Well done.
Cheers & Blessings

Thank you Jax Can not believe it has been that long ago..My son in 2000 wife in 2007..But we all must move on, which I have. Still every once and a while that door opens up and memories come flowing out then dissipate again..Kind of like a river or stream during and after the spring thaw..Runs wild for a while then runs slow and deep when the thaw is done

At the time we are enjoying the simple pleasures of life we rarely get the sense that it could all end in an instant. Oh if only we could reach out and talk to a departed loved one for a few precious moments. The things we would talk about. It may well be enough to create a scenario like the one you so cleverly did. This is very fine and sensitive writing. Great job.

Okay, TK...got me all teary eyed with this one. Wish I had a dang six! Wouldn't it be great to get at least one phone call like this to Heaven.. I am not sure who I would call first. I do have one-sided conversations with those that have gone ahead and I can close my eyes and imagine their response.. Love the animals' part in this...don't forget the ball! 8-)

Thank you so much BG. Your virtual 6 is plenty for me !!!Pets play such an important part in many of our lives It is hard for me to imagine not including them. If There Was A Heaven I do not think they have a place of their own but share space with the ones who loved and cared for them here on earth..

I'd sure like to know that phone number TK. LOL
What a wonderful thought. A likely conversation between a father and son. It seemed as though it could be true.
I enjoyed the conversation very much. Splendid Idea. Well done. Nancy

Ah TK. That was so beautiful. I couldn't help shedding a few tears. My husband is up there waiting for me, too. I'm awestruck and can't find the words I would like to say, except thanks so much for sharing this. I loved it. :>D Miss Sally

Comment from judiverse
I'm waiting 'til payday and sorry I have no more sixes, because this deserves one. It is full of emotion and sounds so sincere. Great idea of the phone call to the son in heaven. Too bad he and Dad have just a short time to talk, but the reminisce about the good times playing ball and playing with the dog and cat. It sounds as if Mom will be joining the son in heaven soon. Although this is sad, there is a hopeful note of reunion in heaven. Beautiful idea well carried out. judi

Thank you so much Lady Judy...All though it has been a while since the passing of both Son in 2000 and wife in 2007 and our dog Happy cat Shylow between those years, The flood gates of the mind still open up letting the memories flow like rapids in a stream. Then close again till the memory dam starts to overflow once again..

You're very welcome. We never forget our pets, do we? I think of my cats that have died almost every day. Even as time passes, the memories of our loved ones and pets are still there. judi

Dear Beloved Knight
This is a remarkable piece...by far the most moving thing that I have read from you. Couple of house keeping notes...3rd sentence from the bottom..."Give mom the ball, will yea" probably should read "will you" or "will ya".
20th line..."Heard your voice and wanted to said, 'Hello' "....want to change said to say.
Now, I truly sense you must be writing from the heart here...that means I am completely convinced in the reality of this...that means you must be very sad, because you are preparing yourself to lose somebody you love...and I'm truly sorry. This is an amazingly creative outlet for your sadness...a wonderful idea in beautifully presented in detail. Certainly, Tarnished Knight, there is a heaven...and you will gather there with all the ones you love.

Thank you so much Lady Meg for awarding the Big Greenie .. I do so appreciate you catching those silly errors..Sometimes we get so caught up in what we are writing that we add or over look things that we wrote..So in this one the same I read over three times and missed both..I did fix as soon as I read your review..FYI My son passed away in 2000 wife 2007 dog and cat in between This has been floating around in my mind for a while finally got it down in writing and am so glad you liked it..As you know it is bit out of my usual comfort zone of rhythm and rhyme thats for sure..lol

So sorry to hear about your son and wife. I suspect most of your writing is a reflection of their memory but it's not readily obvious to readers
Comment from BeasPeas
Knight, this is an exceptional poem. I'm happy it will be in the line up for tomorrow when everyone's stars will be replenished because it is a sixer for sure. Your poem is touching, humorous, well written and interesting. Very nice indeed. Marilyn/BeasPeas
