The Golfers
Pictured are Ford and Louie, his golfing buddy. They played golf almost every day when the weather was good. I almost feel as if they both would still be golfing if they were alive! Louie got cancer and died about a year before Ford died. After Louie died Ford never played golf except for a couple of times. He might have played more but about that time he had his stroke, which messed up his memory, and he was embarrassed to go with anyone to play golf because he could not remember much at all. Our neighbor asked him several times to go but Ford just could not bring himself to go.
In the end his golfing was a thing of the past. That was when he started going down because he sat in his chair and got almost no exercise at all.
They had many hours of fun on the golf course. They could get senior passes and play every day for very little money, except for weekends. So they played weekdays.
I hope there are golf courses in heaven--because if there are Ford and Louie are surely doing 18 holes a day.
