Summary:\u00a0 <\/span>From the Pinecone No 4 challenge this story grew into a WHN for The Truckee Strip.\u00a0 Some Joe suffering again, but it’s what I like best!<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Never Too Old<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sky was pale above the Truckee Strip and by the fading light of evening Ben Cartwright and his two eldest sons pulled their mounts to a halt on a piece of high ground which rose from the edge of a vast lake of shimmering water.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hidden from view within a stand of mingled fir and Ponderosa Pine they stared towards a tributary creek where they could just make out an instantly recognizable paint horse standing patiently and contentedly as it chomped at a small patch of green and luscious grass.\u00a0 Meanwhile its rider, almost motionless and oblivious to the pairs of eyes focused on him, sat feet away with his back resting on the trunk of an old weather-beaten and gnarled oak tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With knees pulled under his chin and head bent forward, the only sign of life from the young man was the shudder of his slight frame and the occasional wiping of a tear-streaked face on the sleeve of his jacket.\u00a0 \u00a0His anguish was pitiful to see and to those watching the reason unashamedly obvious.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All three men felt impotent and useless and slightly uncomfortable as they viewed the distressing scene.\u00a0\u00a0 But unable to tear their gaze away they continued to stare at the much cherished figure until somewhere in the gloom of the forest a timber wolf yapped shrilly and broke the silent bond between them.\u00a0 Without warning Hoss\u2019 voice sounded out quietly and almost reverentially in the eerie landscape of dusk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI hold it true, whate’er befall;
\nI feel it, when I sorrow most;
\n‘Tis better to have loved and lost
\nThan never to have loved at all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two pairs of brown eyes widened in both surprise and delight.\u00a0 \u201cI didn\u2019t realise you were familiar with the works of Tennyson Hoss?\u201d Adam gently smiled in genuine admiration.\u00a0 \u201cGuess there\u2019s more to my big brother than meets the eye!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blushing slightly Hoss cleared his throat in embarrassment.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s just something I remember reading in one of them there poetry books Joe used to bring home from school.\u00a0 You know, when he had to do extra homework for Miss Jones.\u00a0 Don\u2019t know why it stuck in my mind\u2026it just did.\u00a0 And it seemed appropriate to quote it somehow, given what little brother seems to be going through at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe never a truer word was written,\u201d Ben stated softly, his gaze never leaving his weeping son. \u201cAnd I\u2019m sure given time Joseph would agree.\u00a0 But by the looks of it no matter what he\u2019s been telling us over the past few weeks, he\u2019s still not over losing Amy. Far from it in fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inwardly chiding himself for being taken in by Joe\u2019s openly cheery fa\u00e7ade Ben cast his eyes down for several long moments before raising his head with a heartfelt sigh. Exhaling loudly his mind momentarily flew back to relive a late night conversation with his youngest son a couple of months before.\u00a0 \u201cI remember Joe saying how he and Amy first met around here, just after all that trouble with Luther started.\u00a0 Joe even mentioned he hoped to build a cabin near the creek and live there after they were married.\u00a0 I never realised this was also the place he\u2019s been disappearing to so he could grieve alone and without any of us knowing.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adam gave a sympathetic sigh then shook his head in disbelief. \u00a0\u201cI really thought I knew my little brother inside out but looks like I was wrong.\u00a0 He kept telling me everything was okay and he was coping well and I believed him without question.\u00a0 He sure pulled the wool over my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With his confusion mounting apace Hoss furrowed his brow. \u00a0\u201cBut if he\u2019s still grieving so much for that little gal why\u2019s he been pretending he was fine all this time?\u201d he burst out. \u00a0\u201cIt never does anyone no good and certainly don\u2019t make the pain go away any faster. \u00a0Why not tell us how he was feeling instead of keeping that pent up hurt inside until he was away from us all?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One corner of Adam\u2019s mouth lifted in a sardonic little half smile.\u00a0 \u201cHe probably thought by hiding his feelings away we\u2019d stop handling him with kid gloves and allow life to get back to normal.\u00a0 But something just doesn\u2019t sit right about this,\u201d he pondered, lifting his black Stetson and scratching his head absently in bewilderment.\u00a0 \u201cJoe didn\u2019t hide his feelings away when Julia Bulette died.\u00a0 In fact he said later being able to openly grieve really helped him get over her death.\u00a0 So why be so secretive this time?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Showing an equal look of puzzlement on his broad face Hoss let a breath out in an audible hiss.\u00a0 \u201cWell something is making Joe act real strange and out of character,\u201d he muttered before raising a questioning eyebrow as a worrying thought suddenly struck him.\u00a0 \u201cDadburn it, you don\u2019t reckon in some way little brother is holdin\u2019 himself responsible for Amy being killed, do ya?\u00a0 \u2018Cause everybody, even Mr Bishop, said Joe did everything he could to save her and the only one to be blamed was that no good Jessup.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mulling over what Hoss had said Ben\u2019s heart hammered painfully as he imagined the long nights of fretful sleep Joe may well have suffered in the privacy of his own room while agonising over the events leading to Amy\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cJoe never did go into much detail about the fight he had in Luther\u2019s barn.\u00a0 In fact come to think of it he shied away from the subject every time it was brought up,\u201d Ben finally acknowledged. \u00a0\u201cHe may well have been thinking if he\u2019d only done things in a different way Amy might still be alive today.\u00a0 And if that\u2019s what\u2019s bothering him I\u2019m at a loss for once to know what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben\u2019s head dropped down again and Adam watched him carefully for a few moments, instinctively realising the distress his father was feeling over his youngest son.\u00a0\u00a0 He exchanged an intuitive look with his brother behind their Pa\u2019s back and a tiny light of collusion and understanding sparked in Hoss\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adam cleared his throat.\u00a0 \u201cWell there isn\u2019t any one more stubborn than Joe when he gets a certain idea in his head.\u00a0 And if he is holding himself accountable I know for a fact there\u2019s nothing I could do or say that would persuade him otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hoss pointedly shifted in his saddle, the creaking of the leather sounding loud in the quiet of the night.\u00a0 \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t listen to me either Adam,\u201d he admitted, following his elder brother\u2019s train of thought.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ve never known such a mulish individual as Joe when the fit takes him. \u00a0And after all these years I still haven\u2019t worked out how to get him to change his mind when it needed changing.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben spoke up without thinking.\u00a0 \u201cHe certainly has inherited a lot of his mother in him,\u201d he murmured distractedly.\u00a0 \u201cShe could be as obstinate as the day is long some times as well.\u00a0 Guess Joe is just the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hoss nodded.\u00a0 \u201cReckon you\u2019re right Pa.\u00a0 But there might be one way to get to know just what our little brother is thinking,\u201d he declared, giving his father a quick glance to see if he was listening.\u00a0 \u201cHe might open up if he had a little help from another quarter\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The big man\u2019s voice trailed off as he awaited a response, his penetrating gaze never leaving his father\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shaken from his private reverie and conscious of the blue eyes now staring at him Ben frowned, his fatherly instincts telling him his sons were up to something.\u00a0 He took a deep breath before giving a faint smile of apprehension.\u00a0 \u201cCome on then Hoss, spit it out.\u00a0 What are you getting at?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hoss cleared his throat.\u00a0 \u201cLittle Joe sure looks like he could do with some comforting right now and no mistake Pa,\u201d he replied. \u201cSo if he is packing all the blame for Amy\u2019s death in that mixed-up head of his, I reckon you\u2019re the one to go and talk some sense into him right now.\u00a0 He\u2019ll listen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben pondered the suggestion for a few moments then almost reluctantly he shook his head. \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t think so Hoss. If he\u2019d wanted to talk your brother would have said something to me a long while ago.\u00a0 But Joe\u2019s made it very clear by his actions that he wants to be left alone and until he says different we should respect his decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hoss slapped his hand down on his knee in a frustrated gesture. \u00a0\u201cBut Pa I can\u2019t bear to see Joe like this.\u00a0\u00a0 He\u2019s hurtin\u2019 so much and maybe blaming himself for no good reason.\u00a0 It just ain\u2019t fair!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leaning forward in his saddle Ben rested a hand lightly on his son\u2019s shoulder. It pained him greatly to see the sadness in his eyes, hear the anguish in his voice. \u00a0\u201cHoss, I know how you\u2019re feeling.\u00a0 And believe me there\u2019s nothing more I want to do than go down there and put my arms around Joseph like I did when he was a five year old grieving for his mother.\u00a0 But\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben paused and took a deep breath as an icy shiver ran up his spine at the memory.\u00a0 He shuddered again before continuing.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBut Joe\u2019s not a child anymore. He\u2019s way past eighteen and deemed a man now.\u00a0 He knows where I am if he needs me and I\u2019m sure he wouldn\u2019t appreciate me interfering in his life, not any more.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Refusing to accept his decision Hoss shook his head resolutely. \u201cI\u2019m sorry Pa but for once I reckon you\u2019re dead wrong,\u201d he said with rock-solid certainty.\u00a0 \u201cKnowing little brother like we do I guarantee whatever age he is Joe\u2019s never gonna be too old to wish you were around to talk to when something\u2019s troubling him, no matter how much he says different.\u00a0 And only a fool would think otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adam eyed his father tenderly.\u00a0 \u201cHoss is right Pa.\u00a0 \u00a0And none of us would call it interfering.\u00a0 We\u2019d call it caring.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For a few moments Ben said nothing, just staring blankly into the distance as the sureness and affection in the tone of his son\u2019s voices echoed around his head.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry if I spoke out of turn Pa, but I had to say what was on my mind or I\u2019d bust a gut,\u201d Hoss added with certainty.\u00a0 \u201cBut I didn\u2019t mean any offence by it.\u00a0 You do know that, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben met his middle son\u2019s gaze head-on.\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cOf course I do son and no offence taken,\u201d he said as he wiped a hand quickly across his moistened eyes.\u00a0 \u201cJust promise me no matter how cantankerous and bull-headed your Pa gets in the future, under no circumstances will you ever stop letting him know that he\u2019s never too old to be told what needs telling.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hoss grinned crookedly as Ben exchanged a warm smile with him.\u00a0 Then giving a look of thanks to the two men, touched a hand to the brim of his hat in farewell and gathered his reins.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ll see you later at the house boys.\u00a0 Just make sure Hop Sing keeps the dinner warm for when I get back with your brother.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although there was no sign of a moon to guide the weary traveller home, without protestation Adam and Hoss nodded then quietly urged their mounts slowly away through the trees in the direction of the Ponderosa, deep in thought about the sibling they\u2019d left behind.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben waited until they\u2019d disappeared from sight then moved off at a quicker pace and minutes later pulled his buckskin to stop feet away from where Joe was sitting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conscious of the fact his son was watching him Ben dismounted and after securing his horse studied the face staring at him.\u00a0 Joe looked exhausted; his eyes rimmed red and his pallor paler than usual which didn\u2019t go unnoticed by the observant father.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou once told me you found it harder to talk now you weren\u2019t a kid anymore Joseph,\u201d Ben said with a faint degree of apprehension. \u201dBut a wise brother of yours just told me he was sure you were in need of some urgent conversation and company right now.\u00a0 However if you don\u2019t want me to stay just say the word and I\u2019ll leave you in peace; that\u2019s a promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without a second thought Joe shook his head and smiled a flicker of welcome. Ben squatted down by his son\u2019s side as Joe gave a loud sniff; searching his father\u2019s beloved weathered face filled with sympathy and understanding like a little boy lost.\u00a0\u00a0 For a moment he thought he saw tears also brimming in the caring brown eyes and a momentary expression of relief flashed across Joe\u2019s face as he intuitively sensed his father knew the true reason for his continued heartache.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad you stopped by Pa.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been trying to figure out the best way to talk to you for a long while,\u201d he whispered.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s been going round and round in my head till I was dizzy, about the fight with Jessup and whether I could have saved Amy that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ben smiled and laid a loving hand on his son\u2019s arm.\u00a0 \u201cI know Joe,\u201d he soothed quietly, tightening his grip.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I\u2019m here now to listen.\u00a0 I\u2019ll always be here for as long as you need me.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The End<\/p>\n
