    I consider CP to be sort of family - kudos or a's to Chris - he's Canadian, he'll get it. I want all of you to look around or think of your loved ones - kids, wife, husband, etc and appreciate them. You do not know how long you will have them. I buried my Mom in June. This morning, my younger sister passed. I have 3 sons in the USARMY - all tip of the spear stuff. I never saw this with my sister. Yeah, it hurts like hell. Take a moment to count your blessings and hug loved ones. elephant

        My close friend's younger brother, aged 53, passed away suddenly of heart attack. Nothing can be expected in this world.

              A difficult part of life, my condolences. Some time back, a good friend sent me this: A Keeper Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there would always be more. But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away... never to return. So... While we have it... it's best we love it... And care for it.... And fix it when it's broken..... And heal it when it's sick. This is true... For marriage.... And old cars.... And children with bad report cards..... Dogs and cats with bad hips.... And aging parents.... And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special.... And so, we keep them close! I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper', so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way... Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there People are made to be Loved and Things are made to be Used There is so much confusion in this World because People are being Used and Things are being Loved. Be kind... everyone you meet is fighting a terrible battle. Thanks for being part of MY life!

                Well, I have one foot out the door and I'm Ok with that, but I would like to see my kids before I go. I asked my daughter if she's waiting for my funeral to see me again.

                  I'd like to talk to you privately but somehow that feature has been lost. Or I'm having a brain fart. It's been an elephanting tough 3 months. we're on the forum, so I'm sure someone will chime in
