Sending you hugs and love from my neck of the woods to yours. He is always there in your heart, he shines through these words that flow from you.

There are individuals and moments throughout our lives that touch us deeply. Sharing the better part of my highschool years with you and your family was such for me. Your tribute is beautiful and moving. I know John is proud of the woman you’ve become and although we aren’t related, he was like a little brother to me at the time. I am thankful for all the fond memories from those years and proud of you as well!

I think the Native Americans, African Americans, homosexuals and unmarried cohabitators would all agree with you. People are often too quick to assume that they alone have unique rights to space or the ability to vote to tell others what rights they can have. God put us here to exist with one another, yet humans often exhibit “privledged rights.”

Reminds me of an exercise in a management training class many years ago. Twenty of us were put in a roped off area, maybe twenty feet square. We were told that we could “tag” one another out and that the last man standing would win. We all ran around, diving and avoiding one another and tagging each other until only I was left (of course I was, due to my CLR (lol)). The game administrators declared all of us losers. I was outraged. I had grass stains on my shorts and shirt and I was winded from the effort I exercised to win. The point, they said, was that we viewed the exercise as one of survival, not as team work. Had we just agreed as a collective group not to tag out anyone, we all would have “survived” and been declared winners.

When will mankind stop “tagging each other out” and realize that patience and tolerance, not selfishness and violence, will make us collective winners in the game of life. Anything less, and we ALL lose.

I am just like you. I could just sit there for hours. I love looking at the ocean from that perspective, always there….it is comforting.

I had one when I was cutting out life-size silhouettes of 1920s figures for Virginia Tech’s Homecoming dance.
