Monday July 21,2008 Info Please - select a year - chucktoo - 07-21-2008 Thank you Rocky. I'm sitting here and wishing to God for an excuse not have to go in and see him this evening, but I know that if I don't, I will have failed him. I would sooner remember him as he was. But not to go see him, would be a sin of my own making.
Of all the well wishers, you touched me most. Why we ever argued, I haven't a clue your friend; chuck Info Please - select a year - Walt's Daughter - 07-22-2008 Rocky! Very elegant words. Won't try to top that. But, I have to say I know how you feel Chuck. There have been a few occasions were I did chose to remember a few loved ones the way they were. It's a tough call, but only you know what is in your heart and what you have to do. That is for none of us to judge.
Would you do me a favor and give him a kiss for me. I don't know if he will hear it, but tell him that's from me. Okay! Wish I could be there too, but I can't leave. Info Please - select a year - 206thmpco - 07-23-2008 Chuck,
One of the things I know beyond any doubt , is that all the love & caring you are giving your friend Art - will come back to you a million times over.
Gifts of Grace come often in the darkest circumstances - when you least expect & cannot imagine.
I know that from my own personal experience. My dear Aunt Mary was dying of a brain tumor and a few days before she died - I was with her. The tumor had really effected her ability to speak for several months, but at this point she was unconscious (comatose/semi-comatose) and unresponsive (not speaking or opening her eyes). I just sat there with her, holding her hand and stroking her hair - hoping she'd feel the love I had for her. Remembering that people say comatose people can still hear, I spoke to her & told her: "I love you, Aunt Mary!".
It must've taken unbelievable strength & I still believe it was a small miracle because my Aunt opened her eyes & clearly & distinctly said: "I love you Mary! I love you!" and then shut her eyes. Those were the last words my Aunt ever spoke in this world- and they were to ME, for ME! What a gift she gave! Now I have the treasured memory of that moment of Grace until I see her again.
Praying for you and Art! on my way to work & through the day. God bless you both!
