My Tribute to Larry this is hard for me to write, but I wanted to write something for him.
Gone but never forgotten.
Chapter 1
Sue Ellen was at home getting ready for work when she heard her doorbell go off. She was home alone she walked to the door, and opened it , and smiled seeing John Ross there.
"Hey what are you doing here so early, I was about to leave for the office, but I can wait, and have coffee with you"
"Mom I have something to tell you". Sue Ellen let him in, and they walked to the living room. Sue Ellen turned asking him if he would like a coffee?
"No can you sit down Mom"
"John Ross is something wrong you look pale"?
"Mom please come sit down"
Sue Ellen walked around, and sat on the couch, and John Ross sat beside her. She knew something was wrong, and her first thought went to Bobby.
"Oh God is Bobby OK"?
"Uncle Bobby is fine, it is Dad"
"Your Father what is he up to now"?
"Mom he is gone"
"Where he runs off all the time he will be back soon, call him he will call you back for sure"
"Mom Uncle Bobby found Dad in the Den this morning. He was working late on some papers something happened, Dad died Mom"
Sue Ellen jumped up, "I will go get that coffee"
John Ross grabbed her arm, and Sue Ellen pulled away.
"I don't want to hear this John Ross, I can't" She walked away, John Ross sat down he didn't know what to do to help her. He heard a crash in the kitchen he got up running to her.
"Oh my God Mom are you OK"?
He found her on the floor with glass shattered everywhere. She started to cry, and John Ross touched her back.
"Mom let me get you off the floor, you might get cut"
"He died all alone"
"Yes but they think he might of died in his sleep"
"Oh God I was mean to him yesterday, I said I hated him"
"You both have say things to each other he knew you didn't mean what you said"
"John Ross I have loved your Father but we never got it right, and sometimes I think it is my fault"
"Mom blaming each other is crazy you both were at fault, I know you loved him, and he loved you too, but you hurt each other all the time"
"What am I going to do without him John Ross, I always knew he was there if I really needed him. I don't know how to go on knowing he is gone"
John Ross pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "I miss him too Mom"
John Ross got her off the ground, and helped her to her room. She laid down, and he put the blanket over her, and touched her arm telling her to rest he would be right here.
"John Ross you were the best thing to happen to us. I just wish we didn't hurt you, but he loved you so much"
"He loved you too"
Sue Ellen turned, and started to cry, John Ross got up going to the phone, and called Southfork.
"Hello"
"Hi Ann it is John Ross, is Uncle Bobby there"?
"Yes he is how is your Mom "?
"Not good can Uncle Bobby come over she is hurting, and I don't know what to say to her"
"John Ross you lost your Father, but she will need you more than ever. I will get Bobby we will be over in 1/2 hour"
"OK thanks"
John Ross hung up, and walked over to the bed, and saw that his Mom was just staring at the wall with tears covering her cheek. He sat beside her she didn't move she was quiet, he hated seeing her hurting, but at this moment he felt angry why did he have to lose his Father now? They were just starting to be close again , and now he is gone. He got up walking to the dresser, and looked at the photos on it, and couldn't believe his eyes. There was a photo of the three of them when he was maybe 6, and 9, and there was one when he Graduated, but John Ross picked up the picture of his Dad taken recently at Christopher's wedding, he looked at his Mom , and realized she must have loved his Dad all these years, and how she must be hurting knowing she will never get to tell him just how much she still loved him. He felt tears come to his eyes he walked out to the hallway, and slide down the wall to the ground as he looked at his Dad's picture, and whispered, "I need you Dad, why did you leave us"
Gone but never forgotten.
