A/N: Here you go this one is 27th not the last one. It is sad one, I hope you like it, but I'm afraid it didn't out as good as I hoped and the eulogy isn't that great.


No, it wasn't true, it was not happening. Adam wanted to throw something, wanted to yell, but his voice and strength were all gone. Gone like his fathers life.

It had been that same morning, when he woke up; he had had a strange feeling that everything was going to change for ever. When he had reached downstairs his pa hadn't been there, even after Hoss and Joe had come to breakfast, finally he had gone to his pa's room, to see if everything was okay and found his ninety year old father dead in his bed, he had heard someone's yell, now he knew that it had been him, next thing he understood was Hoss on the other side of the bed and Joe right beside him.

Now he sat beside his brothers on his fathers chair writing a eulogy to the greatest man that have ever lived. But the words still didn't come, he saw tears on the paper, he looked at Hoss and Joe and found out it wasn't only his but also his brothers and so the three brothers sat there crying for the happiness that seemed lost, for the future they did see anymore, for their father who would never take another breath.

Few days later the brothers stood at the lake side beside their father's grave. Paul stepped forward Adam looked at him, he and his brother couldn't do the eulogy so they had asked Paul to do it.

"Ben's sons decided it was best to me to hold the eulogy, but they wrote it," saying that he took the paper out from hi pocket and started to read, "Ben Cartwright was a great man in his life and he will be in his death. He loved deeply in his life three times, three wives who made his life complete and he lost all them drastically, leaving behind three sons for whom Ben did everything. Ben was a man who was loved by everyone, a man with a big heart and soul, a man who didn't leave anyone in trouble if he could help. Ben Cartwright raised his three sons as good as he could. He always liked to say, "If there was anything else to leave behind he would leave to the world three sons who made him proud." Ben was king of the Ponderosa, his own world, a generous king who shared everything he got, a king who will rest in peace in his land beside his third queen. Rest in peace for ever and ever and know that Ponderosa will be safe until the time will end." Adam listened, it hadn't been his best speech, but he hoped his pa liked it. When Paul finished The sky opened and it started to rain, to Adam it felt like the sky was morning of his father passing. Everyone loved Ben Cartwright.
