*The LadyX* has been trapped for three days speeding up Fall/Christmas/Winter/Spring/SummerCleaning.
Had a call from The Clinic saying they need to do their annual "Home Visit" - would this coming Monday be a good time?!!!
After my choked out, "Of course," she said two of them will be here tomorrow afternoon at 1:30.
While I'd already started readying the house for a visit by one son and family December 22nd, this more than accelerates the Time Line!
Dolly, your post about El Roy was simply beautiful, portraying things I knew.
Let me say right here and now I truly have not shed one tear, and have nothing but the sweet happiness over a good friend who is now in a better place....
His major role in God's Plan for him has been corroborated mostly through his efforts in Little Logan's life, and in the process, he drew in many hundreds of others.
He was larger than life in recent years, but not in 2001 when we met, going through some very dark personal valleys. Although he was 5 years younger, we had similar memories of childhood times in America, bonding through his great Reminiscence threads.
As everyone knows, he was conversant with many topics, and we shared those and a love of God, of music, and humor.
He especially loved the fact I could see into and fully understand his *CORPS* core..:))
Icing on the cake was my also having been a Right Guide in training (and thereafter) - as he had.
Trust established, our friendship was rooted, and he confided in me many things about his entire life; the good, the bad and the ugly.
Some of that he since openly shared online, as in God in one instant as he lay prostrate before an altar in Singapore, pouring out his heart to Our Father, lifted from him all desire for alcohol.
So -- today in particular, I sucked it up; like this - - 
and tackled the tasks at hand!
Could almost hear his deep chuckle and a little bit of cadence calling - - LOLOL
I'll keep on keeping on, Marine Up There,
so much richer for having had you in this life.
"Have the troops at the ready, E".....
Cambio, Warrior of God...
