The Last Time.... By Ron Cummings

I saw a night here the other night that really brought back memories. I remember the last time I ever saw Tavis. I was home with my girlfriend, she was pregnant with my son Ryan who is now 3 and a half. It was December of '96. It was a beautiful night. No clouds in the sky., the snow was covering everything, the night had this cobalt blue look everywhere, yet still cold as hell. Angela and I were staying at her Uncle Bob Worster's trailer. I get a phone call from my father and he tells me that someone wants to say "hi." I couldn't guess who.. Well finally she gets on the phone and it's Jen Knaut. I was going through myself. I was talking to Jen. I hadn't seen Jen in a couple years. I said "come over." I gave her directions and she did. I heard a knock on the door and I open it, there's Jen, dressed from head to toe in all black..then out of the shadows pops Travis with a big grin..AGGGGHHH... What a surprise.. I gave them both big hugs, they came in for a couple hours, we talked, thought of old times, thought of the future and what was going on now.. I had a great time,..when they left, I hugged them both for the last time, never knowing that this was ever to come. It was a great last time, the night seemed to fit all together. From this point on, every night that I see like that will remind me of him. It's one of those nights you don't see to often. Kind of like Trav, the kind of guy you don't find to often. Ron
