The Yankee Cousins
Shortly after my father died, I recieved a call from a stranger with a thick southern accent who had read one of my books and noticed we had the same last name. He called to ask if I was his "yankee cousin". We talked about horses for hours. After several conversations that followed, he and Mary Ella invited us down from Ohio for a visit. Over the next several years, we made it tradition to get together a couple times a year with many long phone conversations in between. We would sit oustide or at the kitchen table and chat for hours, we would go to Leipers Fork or drive through Historical sites and he would tell us stories. Sure, they became the same stories over and over but they were good stories. My family was from Tennessee so I found the history that they shared quite interesting. We would drive for eight hours, be welcomed with open arms and home cooking, church with them on Sunday morning then head home again. Marvin was never happy to follow the flame, he wanted to light the way and I loved that about him. He always had a new idea or project in his head and as tiring as it may be, Mary Ella was always on board. He took me fishing, he made me laugh and he called me "Sugah". They celebrated every accomplishment, held our hand through every crisis and through the years, became as close to us as parents. Being with them was always like being with family and we will miss him dearly. Marvin was one of a kind and quite frankly, I dont think the world could have handled more than one but we are better people for having known and loved him and for that, we are grateful. He wasnt perfect but who among us really is? It isnt so important that you ride well but rather that you sadlle up and get on the horse. I think he knew that. Mary Ella, Sam, Clay, Edie,kids from the bottom of our hearts, Bear and I wish we could be there to say goodbye to Marvin and we thank you very much for allowing us the time we spent with him. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless. Love Tena and Bear
