Hughes

Written by HieiandKuramaLover
And
Lovingly dedicated to Brigadier General Maes Hughes

Father
Husband
Friend
Only a few of the words
To describe him
Square-framed eyes
An often goofy grin across his face
There when you needed him
And still there when you didn't
Killed in action
As we suspected he would be
Trying to protect who he could
A constant father figure
A constant believer
With a smile on his face
Maybe he'll return to us
Through a miracle of some kind
But some hopes are far too high
And this may be just one of them
"Find yourself a good wife"
Words that never failed
To end the conversationwith slamming down the phone
And a good, though mad
"Give it a rest!"
The proudest of fathers
Always showing off his daughter
No matter how many times he'd done it already
Never backing down
When told to put the picture away
Never afraid to brag some more
In every kind of way
About his beautiful daughter
Or how cute she looked this day
But no more
No more bragging about cute daughters
No more nagging about a wife
No more stupid moments
No more fatherly advice
Ithink I speak for all fans
When I write this last line
Farewell Hughes
It's so hard to tell you goodbye

Farewell Hughes
Rest in Peace
