FOR MARK.

Mark lost his fight this morning at 6:00 a.m. I wanted all of you to see just how happy he was on Saturday and how much his brother's visit meant to him. His twinkling eyes and beautiful smile will be among the fondest memories I have. I wanted all of you, his cyber family, to know how much you all meant to him. He loved posting and he loved reading all your comments.

Let me rest in the arms of slumber, for my open eyes are tired; Let the silver-stringed lyre quiver and soothe my spirit; Weave from the harp and lute a veil around my withering heart.

Dry your tears, my friends, and raise your heads as the flowers raise their crowns to greet the dawn. Look at the bride of death standing like a column of light etween my bed and the infinite; Hold your breath and listen with me to the beckoning rustle of Her white wings.

The songs of the waves and the hymns of the streamsAre scattered, and the voices of the throngs reduced to silence;And I can hear naught but the music of eternityiIn exact harmony with the spirit's desires.I am cloaked in full whiteness;I am in comfort; I am in peace.

He slipped into sleep and his pain is gone. For that, I am grateful. I love him with all my heart and I will miss him so.

This is my tribute to a great man. I know others have said good by to him on their blogs I have chosen to do this my way.

My Hammered Dulcimer music.

For a few reasons. the depression that sometimes hists this month due to the personal loss this month of my Mom,yes it was 5 years ago, but I still miss her and always will.

We MUST NEVER FORGET.

Today (9/11/01) we were attacked by terrorists, back on 12/07/1941 we were attacked out of the blue as well. Both of the dates are to be remembered for the loss of life. In New York NY,Washington D.C., and in Pennsylvania where a hijacked plane crashed when the passengers of the plane tried to take that plane back from the hijackers,saving untold lives. We will remember all those that gave their lives when Pearl Harbor was attacked. We must understand that we are never going to be 100% safe as long as there are people that wish us harm.

just a quick note of a sad anniversary.

Today is a sad anniversary date,on this date in 1984 my dad passed away. He was 58.I really miss him. I will always. The pain I felt that day had diminished,his loss still hurts. Dad you gave me a lot to work with as did Mom. I love and miss the both of you.

A side note and it may sound silly. I know the two of then are dancing up a storm to the big bands that they used to go to here on earth. I also know that he is having fun bowling as he did and even getting a round of golf in. I bet the courses are just grand.
