Bragging on my Wife

[Ben Lamb]

We had a pretty rough summer. In June, my wife's Paternal Grandfather passed. August saw my father pass as well as her Maternal Grandmother. She wrote this piece about a pretty rough day we had. To say that I am proud of her would be a gigantic understatement.

That was a moving story.

When the time comes, my Brother and I are to spread my father's ashes in the southern Madison valley, at Reynold's Pass where Mile Creek leaves its canyon in the Henry's Lake Range.

Your wife wrote a beautiful piece.

If a guy reads that and doesnt get a even a little teary eyed, he's got a heart of stone. Sad to hear of each of your losses.

Ben, please tell your wife thank you. I was moved by the article. I just got back from Texas Friday evening, having sorted through possessions, photos, memories of Dad, then the 2 day drive through northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming before finally getting home to Montana. Just west of Billings, when you start hitting the mountains, I finally relaxed - I was home. And it is so beautiful!

Yesterday, I was told my grandmother just died as well (also back in Texas). The beauty and wild that is Montana has become my refuge in all this.

 

[Straight Arrow]

It is beautiful.

Thank-you Mrs. Lamb. I didn't know your grandfather, but reading your piece made brought back many memories of my grandfathers one now deceased and one in the debilitating grip of dementia. When I can read your memories and they fade as mine come to the forefront, you can know you've written well. It was beautiful.

Little Brother, let your wife know she made emotions show up on this old face. She is amazing.
