The Force
2008 February 12
This will give you a little insight into the home-life of the Daws Brothers.
The other day I was talking to our mother about a cruise she and our dad were preparing to go on. She’d never been on a cruise before and was fretting over what to pack. Anyway, while in the midst of all that chaos, she turned to me and said, “Why do they say ‘May the force be with you’ when Obi-Wan clearly said ‘The Force will be with you, always?’”
I was just stunned – because a) I had never thought about that before, and b) I couldn’t believe my mom had just come up with the most amazing philosophical Star Wars comment I’ve ever heard. And she’s not a nerd or a geek. Well, I guess she is now.
That is what growing up Daws was like.

Well, I don’t know who he said those lines to, but perhaps the former is a general comment along the lines of “Godspeed” or “Have a blessed day” but the latter is something extra special only few can attain. Just my 2 cents from a non-Star Wars geek.
Actually, Han Solo says “Hey Luke, may the force be with you” before he takes off at the end of IV.
You write very well.
