My Opus (Thank You FreeRepublic: I Ain't Leaving)Vanity
Self ^ | March, 27 2003 | Fiddlstix

Hello to all my Freeper Friends
And
God Bless all of you
J

In recent months I have lost both of my parents at ages respectfully 90 & 92 years of age.

When I was 24 years of age my parents adopted a young boy (an Hispanic boy) and raised him as their own son.

That young man and I became very good friends and, in fact, he became my brother. We were very close.

19 months ago I lost my Father. 7 months ago I lost my Mother. 12 days ago I lost my Brother. He was only 42 years of age when he passed to be in the arms of our God.

I am 60 years of age. It hurts much more to see the younger ones pass.

I am very proud of my support and monthly contributions to FreeRepublic.com and to all my fellow Freepers, very little as it may be.

When times are rough I know that I may always rely on my Freeper friends wherever they may be.

(I am now reminded of the great thread posted by one of our own, Herb Meadows. "In My Mothers Arms")

For some reason in these days I find comfort in that great old song This Old House by the great musical artist, Rosemary Clooney of times past. I would like to share it with all of you.

In closing I would like to make this observation. Once again our great Republic is involved in a war. Once again Our Great Nation has entered this engagement on the side of God and those principles which are right.

God Bless America
God Bless Freerepublic.com
God Bless You and I
God Bless Us, each and every one.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read this thread.

Please use your ping lists to notify other freepers. I am still a bit "broken up" over the events of recent months.

God Bless

Thank You

You have had more crap come down on you in the last couple of years than most people have had in a lifetime.
My thoughts are with you

Oh, I am so sorry, dear F'stix, my heart goes out to you, and I certainly will ping our Finest to this thread, as I know they will want to remember you in their prayers...FReepers are so kind to care for one another when they are needed.

May God Bless you and give you comfort at this time when you are feeling such great losses.

Keep your chin up. During past 10 years I lost a mother, brother and sister so I can understand how you feel. Please keep the faith and know that they are in a better place watching over you. We are always here for you if you need us. God bless you.
