REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!



Marine Richard Hollington, Bravo Company, 40 Commando Royal Marines, DOW sustained in Afghanistan, 20JUN2010



I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

So sorry, my dear Friend. (((HUGS)))
Things are difficult here too. No job, no money, still have a roof over our heads, but for how long?
Have to keep trusting in God.

Prayers will be offered BIG TIME for you and your situation, tonight!!!!!!!

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Where have I been?
Just relaxing and hanging out
At the beach!
Can't you tell?????

[tiapam]

Now that looks really nice, Yorkie! What’s with the “wink,wink”? As if I don’t know! LOL! I think we all should meet there for refreshments and SOON!!

Beautiful eyes! That may be an Australian Shepherd breed. My daughter had one years ago and one eye was blue and the other was brown.

Hi Amy, glad you liked the photo of La Jolla. It’s about 1 hour(or less, depending on traffic!) north of San Diego. Really lovely there! Used to go there as a youngster, as an Aunt had a home there.

[tiapam]

How pretty, Jaycee! Thank you!
