It is so...

[Spookwriter]

Thank you my friends...more than words can say.

As I prepare now to escort my mother to the funeral
home to begin a long journey...I am, as always, amazed
by the love of my neighbors in our little town.

I have been informed that there will be armed guards at
our homes and surrounding grounds during this time.

That also, because more than half the town will be
"out-of-town" to attend dads funeral, there will be armed
patrols in town with even an extra sherrif. (Dad's actual funeral
is a few miles away, where my family is from.)

Even to the flags in town at half-mast...

My roots have always been here. This is my home. And I always
knew how much this place meant to me.

But I never knew how much we meant to them.



****There was a brake-in a the old school last week. No real
damage, just some vandels. But that simply isn't supposed to
be the way things work here. This is really one awesome place.
Last major crime here was back in the summer, someone stold the
mayor's tomatoes. Right off the vine.


Spook...with a long journey ahead.

Spook, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. It sounds like he was much loved and respected by all - a lot like his son!

 

[EweSheep]

I am so sorry Spook! You have been a very good son to him!

Friend Spook....


I haven't been online much lately and to be honest..... I have no words that could possibly bring any comfort in a time like this. I started to not even post, but I want you to know I am thinking of you.

I am so saddened by your loss. There hasn't been an hour went by the past few days that I haven't thought of you and your family.





Like you said that night; "It's so sad when the clowns cry". I too have taken that long last walk with loved ones and there is nothing that can be said by myself or anyone else to bring any relief from the sadness.

Remember though that you were there for him every day and night. You held his hand at the end. You did all you could do to be there for him and comfort him in his time of need. You have been a good son, partner and friend to your father. Time never heals all pain, but it does dull the edges. May you find peace soon my friend.

Oh, Spook, I am so sorry. We have missed you so much and have been ever mindful of the struggles you have had to endure. It is never easy to travel the path you have just tread, but most all of us have, or will, take it. I hope that you can do your grieveing in a way that eases the pain and that you will soon be able to find joy, again, in the things that brought you joy in the past. When you are ready, we will be happy to have you back here.
