I WROTE THIS IN 1990, MY GRANDFATHER PASSED IN 1997.
HE BELIEVE'S IN FAITH
GRANDPA WAS A WISEMAN. ( EXPEDIENT, CANNY, AND A SCHOLAR )
THERE WASN'T ANYTHING HE WAS UNAWARE OF , OR COULDN'T MEND.
HE GREW UP IN THE TWENTIES ( THROUGH THE YEARS OF THE DEPRESSION ), ON A FARM WITH FOUR BROTHERS.
LATER IN LIFE HE BECAME A CARPENTER.
HE BUILT SOME OF THE MOST STUNNING HOUSE
YOU COULD EVER LAY YOUR EYES ON.
IF YOU EVER NEEDED ADVICE, ALL YOU NEEDED TO DO WAS ASK.
HE WAS ALWAYS THERE, IF YOU NEEDED A HAND.
GRANDPA BELIEVED , YES HE BELIEVED IN FAITH.
IF YOU BELIEVE, FATE WILL NEVER TEAR YOU DOWN.
JUST ASK GRANDPA, BECAUSE HE BELIEVES, YES HE BELIVES.
IF GRANDPA DIDN'T BELIEVE, HE WOULDN'T BE AMONG US NOW.
ONE DAY AS A YOUNG MAN GRANDPA BECAME ILL.
THE DOCTOR'S PREDICTED SIX MONTH'S.
EXCEPT THE DOCTOR'S DIDN'T REALIZE HOW STRONG FAITH COULD BE.
YES, YES, HE BELIVED, YES HE BELIVED IN FAITH.
GRANDPA HAS OUT LIVED THE DOCTORS BY SIXTEEN YEARS.
THOSE YEARS WERE LONG AND PROSPEROUS.
IT WAS ONLY BEACUSE HE BELIEVED IN FAITH.
YES GRANDPA BELIEVES IN FAITH, YES HE BELIEVES.
THEN AGAIN FATE APPEARED, LOOKING DOWN ON GRAMPS.
HIS HEART FAILED HIM, THAT WASN'T ENOUGH TO KEEP GRANPA DOWN,
BECAUSE HE BELIEVES, GRANDPA BELIEVES IN FAITH.
GRANDPA BELIEVED, YES HE BELIEVED IN FAITH.
IF YOU BELIEVE, FATE WILL NEVER TEAR YOU DOWN.
JUST ASK GRANDPA, BECAUSE HE BELIEVES, YES HE BELIEVES.
IF GRANDPA DIDN'T BELIEVE HE WOULN'T BE AMONG US NOW.
YES GRANDPA BELIEVED THEN
AND HE BELIEVES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY GRANDPA OUT LIVED THE DOCTORS AND CANCER FOR 23 YEARS. HE IS MY INSPIRATION FOR LIFE.
ONE OF MY CO - WORKERS HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT HAVING ANOTHER LITTER OF PUPPIES. WHEN I HEARD, MY INTEREST SPARKED. SHE HAD A YELLOW LAB NAMED CHEROKEE. THIS WOULD BE HER SECOND LITTER. I TOLD THAT I HAD ALWAYS WANTED A CHOCOLATE LAB. SO I ASKED HER HOW MUCH SHE WOULD SELL EACH PUPPY.HER LAST LITTER THE PUPS WENT FOR $750 EACH. I SAID WOW$!
WELL TIME WENT BY AND SHE TOLD ME HOW MUCH EVERTHING WAS COSTING HER. THE STUD FEE AND VET VISITS. IT SOUNDED LIKE ALOT OF MONEY. I REALIZED WHY THE PUPPIES WERE SO MUCH. THEN CAME THE PUPPIES.
SHE NATURALLY TOLD ME SHE HAD ONE CHOCLATE LAB, BUT SHE WAS GOING TO HOLD OUT FOR $1000. IN MY MIND I KNEW I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS. SHE WAS TAKING NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS OF $300.00 DOLLARS. I TOLD HER THAT I REALLY COULDN'T SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A PET. A FEW WEEKS WENT BY AND SHE BROUGHT PICS IN OF THE PUPPIES. SHE WAS GOING STIR CRAZY. THE LITER WAS 12 HEALTHY PUPPIES. ALL THE PUPPIES WERE SOLID COLORS. FIVE ALL BLACK, SIX ALL BLONDE, AND ONE ALL CHOCOLATE PUPPY. I SEEN THE PICS, AND MY MIND STARTED TO WONDER. WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE TO HAVE A PET AGAIN. GROWING UP WE HAD ALL KINDS OF PETS INCLUDING SEVERAL DOGS.
FOR ABOUT A WEEK ALL I COULD THINK OF AND TALK ABOUT WAS THAT CHOCOLATE PUPPY. I TREID CONVINCING MYSELF IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA. I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AND OUR HOUSE WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH. ALL MY FREINDS AND FAMILY SAID THE SAME THING. SO I HAD TO ASK HER THE DREADFUL QUESTION, WOULD SHE GIVE ME A DEAL SINCE I WAS HER BOSS. I WAS OUT OF LUCK, SOMEBODY HAD ALREADY PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT.
I WAS HEART BROKEN AND I HAD NOT YET SEEN THE PUPPY IN PERSON. I GUESS IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE. ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THE PERSON HAD TOLD HER HE COULD NOT HAVE THE PUPPY, BUT ANOTHER LADY HAD ALREADY PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT . I WISH SHE WOULDN'T TELL ME THESE THINGS. I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST TEASING ME. ONE DAY AT WORK SHE WAS SHOWING ME THE CHECKS SHE HAD TO DEPOSIT, AND ON EACH ONE WAS WRITTEN THE PATICULAR DOG. SHE HAD NINE CHECKS AND TWO HAD CHOCOLATE LAB NOTED ON THEM. SHE STILL HAD A COUPLE PUPS NOBODY WANTED AND WAS DROPPING THE PRICE TO $450.00. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND DECIDED NO I WANTED THE CHOCOLATE LAB. NO OTHER PUPPY WOULD DO.
IT HAD BEEN EIGHT WEEKS SINCE THE PUPPIES WERE BORN. I HAD LOST ALL HOPES. SO I DECIDED TO SEARCH ON LINE. I COULDN'T BELEIVE HOW MUCH SOME OF THESE PLACES WERE GETTING FOR SOLID CHOCOLATE LABS. ONE PLACE WANTED $1500. I KNEW WHAT I WANTED AND THAT WAS A PET, NOT A MONEY MAKER.
ONE NIGHT WHEN I WAS CLOSING , SHE BROUGHT ME THE CHOCLATE LAB AT WORK TO SEE. I ASK HOW MEAN ARE YOU. YOU KNOW I WANTED THIS PUP. NOW YOU ARE TEASING WITH HER. SHE SAID JUST COME OUTSIDE AND TAKE A LOOK AT HER. I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER INSTANTLY. SHE SAID I SORTA HAVE A PROBLEM . AS I WAS HOLDING THE PUPPY , MAKING ALL KINDS OF GOOFY SOUNDS. SHE NEEDS A HOME STIL. MY HEART STOPPED BEATING. COULD IT BE!!! SHE SAID SHE STILL WANTED A $1000. I STOPPED BREATHING. MY HEART SANK TO THE GROUND. SHE WENT ON THAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY I COULD MAKE PAYMENTS. I'M THINKING TO MYSELF, YOU ******* YOU BROUGHT THIS PUPPY HERE, KNOWING I WOULD FALL IN LOVE WITH HER. THEN SHE SAID THE MAGICAL WORDS. SHE WOULD ONLY COST YOU $400.00.
SHE HAD ALREADY MADE $600.00 ON NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS. I SHOULD HAVE TREID NEGOTIATING WITH HER.THE PUPPY WAS IN MY HANDS AND NOBODY WAS GETTING HER BACK. SHE DID MAKE SURE THE PUPPPY HAD ALL HER SHOTS EXCEPT RABIES. SHE WAS TOO YOUNG. ALSO PAID TO SEND IN THE AKC PAPERWORK. THE PUPPY WENT HOME WITH ME THAT NIGHT. BY THE TIME I WAS HOME I HAD ALREADY NAMED HER COCO.
HOW COULD I HAVE FUSSED SO MUCH ABOUT MONEY?
