It's Gone But Not Forgotten

[teaser]

Not sure if everyone knows this or not but the tug down in Bourne is gone.

A landmark I'll never forget, as a kid when you saw the tug you knew you were down the cape.

My daughter remembers it well also because everytime I went to the canal to launch an assault on the ones with scales she was with me and asked me everytime without fail ... "Daddy, who drove that boat there? Daddy can I go for a ride on it? Daddy, who's that driving it?"

We did get to stop by to see it before it left, only this time we had her daughter (my 6 month old grand-daughter) with us. I figure she probably don't realize what it is even though she was amazed with it but it did go through 3 generations of my family.

I remember my daughter used to wave at "the man" driving it as we drove by on our way to the canal, sad day for us all now that it's gone.

My daughter had tears in her eyes as we were leaving, remembering all of our trips down that end of the planet and the fun we had at the canal.

Generations of memories gone forever ... for a pharmacy, like we need more of them. I'll hold the memories of it and our trips in a special place, a place where nobody can take them away or scrap them for progress.

I hope there's others here who have fond memories of the tug that they've shared with their families and that will miss it as much as my daughter and I will.

As long as we remember it ... it will never be gone forever!

Thanks for letting me vent folks.
