You donโt have to look any further than the pictures to see just who he was. He was whatever someone needed when they needed it the most. He was the wise old man that could hold the space for anyone and everyone, and he did so willingly and effortlessly.
His role was different for each of us. He was the best teacher, a confidence builder, a secret keeper, the warmest and softest place to lay your head and dry your tears (he had THE softest hair), the one who could touch the heart and soul of the person who wouldnโt let anyone or anything else in, and he did it all by saying a whole lot without saying anything at all.
And he was alwaysโฆALWAYSโฆthe kindest soul
Not too long ago, Gabe & Seth, the two boys that grew up with him, came to visit. Hearing the stories of his shenanigans before his Aisling days was quite comical. Itโs hard to believe, but apparently in Slugโs younger days, he was quite the bronc and found it to be a super entertaining pastime to buck people off ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Iโm quite certain heaven has rodeos, so maybe he can relive his younger years and sow his wild oats he kept bagged up the last few years ๐
But I can promise you thisโฆwhen the one finds him that needs him the most, heโll drop his head, walk over, close his eyes, and lay his head right in their chest, and be exactly what they needโฆjust like heโs done for so many of us so many times๐ด๐
Si, Paige, Gabe, Seth, and everyone who loved himโฆwe are forever grateful for you for bringing Slug to us and allowing us the great pleasure of loving him too.
Thanks Sluggy Buttโฆfor taking such good care of all of us ๐
