****Back story. My mom and dad were married in 1957 at the very young ages of 15 years old and 17 years old. Mom was pregnant at the time and Dad wanted to marry her. My dad is Hispanic, and my mom is Irish. Mom's sisters and brothers were very much against my parents getting married. But my grandparents weren't. Both my grandmothers went to the courthouse with my parents and signed the consent for them to get married. My parents were married for 66 years and had seven children. Mom passed away on April 2, 2023, and Dad is still alive at the time of this article writing which is March 2025. These are the stories of their life according to them. ******
Missing Cat by Dad. (Some of the words may be offensive but I can't really tell the story without them)
I found a black kitten one day as I was out feeding cows. I took it to Dorie in the house. She decided to keep it and feed it. Later on, I asked her what she had decided to name it.
Dorie said. "Asshole."
I laughed and asked her why she named it asshole, and she said that is what he acted like. A little asshole. Asshole hung around the place that summer. Dorie was right. He was an ornery cat. He followed me everywhere too. One day as I was out feeding the cows in the corral, I heard the strangest commotion and looked up and an eagle had somehow caught Asshole and was flying away with him. I watched as they faded into the distance and then walked into the house and told Dorie that she had just lost her asshole. I shouldn't have grinned. She gave me the strangest look and asked me what in hell I was talking about. I told her an eagle had just taken her cat, Asshole.
She said, "That's not funny, Gons."
I tried not to laugh and told her, "Of course it's not funny when you lose your asshole."
She didn't talk to me the rest of the day.
