The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I will.

He's facing a rapid decline in health due to an undiscovered (until last night) and virulent strain of cancer.

He was out happily grocery shopping on Sunday and tonight he does not know what year it is.

The only indication anything was wrong was his complaint of a constant pain on his lower back towards one side.

Needless to say, my family has been taken by complete surprise and are still trying to sort out how to take all of this in.

He's finally talking again, but has very little lucidity.

*sigh*

I just wanted to let you all know what was going on because you're the bestest friends I've got.

PLEASE don't let this ruin the mood of the thread. Happiness is in short supply in my neck of the woods right now and I'd hope to always find a smile and laugh in here!

It's been pouring all day! LOL!!

All kiddin' aside, I love ya all right back. It's so wonderful knowing that no matter how bad some days are, I'm always so glad to have the Hobbit Hole.

I just didn't want to come in and ruin the fun atmosphere of the Hole tonight, but felt like a fraud by not coming right out and telling you all what's going on.

I'm just not up to pretending in front of folks I care about and trust, ya know?

Hey... I've killed the fun atmosphere time after time... but apparently only by showing up. :-)

It could be worse. Somehow. :-)

I didn't know about the jumper either. :-(

Next we'll probly find out that the live entertainment is The Rolling Stones, playing on a flatbed truck in the south forty.... [sigh]

Just ducking in to say "Hello," and to thank you for all the birthday wishes! I'm decrepit, so forgive me when I move slowly!
