Excerpt from Harold and Maude a film by Hal Ashby Maude lays in the back of an ambulance, dying. Harold sits, with tears in his eyes, next to Maude. He composes himself and mutters, "Maude..... I love you!" Maude smiles and says her last words of the film, "Awww Harold.. That's great.. Now GO AND LOVE SOME MORE." My Papa was one of the strongest men I've ever met. I will never watch a John Wayne film, go fishing, or eat thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner without him next to me. I shared the excerpt because even though Harold and Maude is a film about death, it's the most life affirming movie I've ever seen. And my Papa would want nothing more than for us to go on living our lives by loving everyone the way we loved him. Unfortunatly I'm not able to be with my family during this time, which is difficult but I know I can't do anything about it. Even though I'm far geographically, I'm right there spiritually. I will never forget how much he made me the man I am today. For that I am forever thankful. My papa was a great man. I love you and will miss you. Matthew
