Legal Note: I do not own Calvin and Hobbes. I do not own any
such book written by a man named Calvin, which has a title dubbed:
A Wonderful
Life, In Review.
Author's Note: These set of stories and chapters are fantasized excerpts
from an imaginary book written by a future, aged Calvin from
Calvin and Hobbes.
All of this has been written by myself, and it is my view of a life Calvin might
lead in his future life. Read, Review, and Enjoy.
Excerpts from Calvin's Autobiography: A Wonderful Life, In Review
Forward from Calvin
My life has been full of wonderful events. These events happen
to be full of elation, sadness, misery, laughter, love, imagination, warm
cups of coffee on a rainy morning, arguments with my wife, the crying of grandchildren,
and many more things that have shaped my life into what I believe as perfect.
The Trail starts with birth, every year, and every change in my thoughts,
life, and emotions steers me off onto a new path. Though I am now retired,
and I am living a lax life, I am still extending my Trail. I've already passed
the scenery, and the milestones. I accomplished all my goals I set out to
accomplish. The forest has yet to end, so I can pass with tranquility to my
reward. But looking back into the forest I have shed light on, I see more bumps,
dead ends, and fallen bridges than ever. I know I will see a few more.
One
thing I must credit my parents for all that they did in their long life. Being
an only child was just as hard for them as it was for parents who had 7
children. They taught with strong values, virtues, and responsibility. They taught wisdom
with wisdom, discipline with discipline. And, my dad was always famous for his
accursed lessons in character. My greatest regret is that this book was not
published in their lifetime. I still respect them the most at the age of 65. And
I will never forget them. Never.
I've written this book so my children already, grown and matured;
my grandchildren, learning the basics of reading; and my future kin and family,
somewhere not of this world will someday read this and learn that life is what you
make of it, and the possibilities are endless. But I wish that all who read
this, not kin of my family, will learn the same lessons that I have taught,
and still teach my children.
May you go in peace, Calvin
Author's Note: Don't worry, the next chapters will have more of
Calvin. This is just the forward, and gives hints about how he will end up, and
what he has done in his lifetime.
