RE: 20 Round - Friday Fight Food - Potato Baked

in #fff6 years ago

First, bare with me for not upvoting this response, hopefully everyone knows I’ll shoot them 99% when engaging with me. I’ve just gone through a lot of my responses as I received that terrible news yesterday that you read about. What I’m trying to say is, I’m down to 70% voting power and I only have one Upvote left in me, I’m saving it for your Christopher Michael Edwards response. .....I’m having a tough time, Sweed.

But about this contender! You wrote a couple of things to me just now that I’ll never get tired of hearing and, today especially, if I told you I don’t care to read anything encouraging, I’d be lying.

“Remember this is #dandays, expect the unexpected.”

“What makes you think of some of the stuff you come up with”

(I don’t know to be honest but I’m grateful / thankful / elated I can. It keeps cool cats like you interested)

Thank you @thebigsweed, I really needed to read that just now. God bless you, sir, you and yours, the Mrs, Ryan, all of the little ones you picture, all of em! Bless em all the same.

Thanks a lot for stopping by @thebigsweed, I’m glad we met.

Keep strong. Yesterday I drove back to NJ, for our annual reunion with all the guys I first started teaching with in in 1977. All of us were just fresh out of college and developed friendships that have lasted to this day.
We spend time telling our war stories and sharing what has gone on in our lives over the past year.
Over the years we have lost 4 fellow partners in crime.
We remember them all with a toast and a few stories. These fine gentlemen have also been taken from us much too early. In most cases Time Does Heal All.
Pain is replaced with the fond memories we have of the these special people we call our friends.

Check you out, the happiest guy in the picture! Thanks for sharing that one, that has nothing but a great time written all over it. What an exciting even to look forward to each year.

@puravidaville asked me a question today that we don’t have an answer to, we both rationalized as best we can but I’m going to spell each of them out to you, I think you can answer these.

Is this the time in our lives when we start getting more of those phone calls? That’s not the first, are they going to continue to trickle in now. And then what? Do the phone calls speed up? Do you begin receiving them more regularly at some point? Do they slow back down?

For me, being on the back nine, I would expect more calls of this nature. With God's blessings, my only hope is that the people I love and care deeply about, can pass through the pearly gates in chronological order.
To mourn the passing of someone who has lived a long and fruitful life, although painful, is nothing like the devastation that fills our entire being when a life has been cut way to short for one reason or another.
