DONALD (NMI) COLBERT: MAY 11,1945-November 18, 2025. COME MONDAY: JIMMY BUFFET. Only in just this minute, did I think that this Song was anything, except all about me. I Posted Something about this, many times: this song, while a student at The University Of Houston, and not understanding why it played at the same time, when I crossed The Commons, in search of those wonderful Pancakes. It was probably Synchronized or Queued Music...I think that we called it Programmed Music, way back then, in 1974-1977. Now, calling my family, and asking them to check on my Daughter, in the loss of her Father...maybe it wasn't about me. He called me, "Honey." So his Children, then Jennifer, our Child, called me Honey. (He only called me "Geneva" when I overspent at WALMART...The only thing in YUKON, OKLAHOMA...on Laundry, Cleaning, and Household Supplies...and then calculated the Receipts and Bank Account to justify how much money I had saved (Him). Yet, we couldn't pay a bill, without him first sending a Check to my Mom. "Did you send Momma her money?" "Yes, I'd answer." He loved his Family: If he had a shortcoming, that was it--He loved his Family, and he could never choose one person over the other. Or, one side of a family over another. ALL OTHER SINS OR SHORTCOMINGS HE FERVENTLY PRAYED TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS. On Monday, SEPTEMBER 3, 1984, HE WAS HOLDING HER TIGHT IN HIS ARMS. The Song, After All, wasn't about me. She Loved Her Dad; Not So Much Me with all that wiping, washing, and combing her hair. So, she mostly wore caps, from a collection, to roll with her Daddy and get away from me. I was amazed once to see him carry her, and so many grocery bags, and never drop anything. Flawed? Yes. Human? Yes. Loving? Absolutely. Take Your Rest, Now, Donald Colbert. All Is As Yesterday And Forgiven Or Only Remembered For The Joy. And, the song was right: On Monday, You Were Holding Her Tight. SHE WAS BORN ON LABOR DAY. I THOUGHT ALL THIS TIME THAT IT WAS ONLY ABOUT MY LABOR AND DELIVERY; NOT HOW DONALD COLBERT DELIVERED THROUGH HIS LABOR. Please find a way to send comfort, condolences, and joyful memories, if you have them, of my child's Father: AMERICAN AIRLINES SKYCAP, WILL ROGERS WORLD AIRPORT, "Little Don," DONALD COLBERT, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA.
