Snowboards are Red, Snowboards are Blue…
Posted on January 28, 2010


Last year, for Valentines Day, my office did an Old Fashioned Valentines thing. Everyone decorated bags to receive cards in and then some passed out Valentine cards. It was cute. We’re doing that again this year. Anyway, my brother Reuben was working here at the time. He wrote little poems for each person. The card above was to me. Yes, I CRIED when I read it. It says:
Snowboards are Red
Snowboards are Blue
I pray some day you
can teach your newphew
I was always excited for him to be a dad and me to be an aunt. I think it was just before him and Meggan knew the sex of the baby. I do remember him saying that either way - nephew is what rhymed, lol. It’ll be a blast to teach Ruby to snowboard, if she wants to learn. Every year, Reub told me he’d go and finally learn. I know he would’ve loved it.
I think about the things he’ll miss. There are so many things - especially with Meggan and Ruby, but really, it’s us that will be missing him. He’s in Heaven. He’s working on God’s computers and network now. Everyone knows you should be nice to the guy that fixes your computers. So, I’m sure my darling niece Ruby has special favor with God.
