Oh... I'm sorry, I missed it.
Thank you for reposting, LRod. I wish I was there in person, I'd give you a hug ~ and we could sit and talk. But ... I'm not, so I'll you a cyber word HUG instead, and you two will have to hug other to make up for the lack that only words leave behind. Remember to hug each other as often as possible.
Doreen ... Yes, there is more to 'life' than death; then our passing. Life leaves our bodies, but WE don't leave life. It's just that our bodies are NOT ‘our life’ (surprise surprise!) nor, all of life, nor who we are, nor all of what we are. Still... knowing all this ~ while it can make it a easier; it doesn't stop our grieving nor our need to grieve.
So, LRod, Doreen ~ anytime you need more cyber word hugs, want to talk more about Gabriel. I'm glad you have this place... that is an ongoing bit of Gabriel's llegacy to all of us, even those of us who didn't meet him, until now.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ps to Gabriel ....
Hi Gabriel! Nice to posthumously meet you ... Babette misses you. So do LRod and Doreen and others. LRod says you sing great. From what they’ve shared about you, and what I’ve seen so far, you sound like one hulluva a fun person. Some day I hope to meet you for myself ... in person. Till then … I want to tell you thank you for being their friend, for helping them set us their first website and such. For if not that then, and you then ... perhaps I would not be here now ~ saying what I'm saying to them, an you. I don't know about you, but I'd miss that.
Say hi to your name sake for me ~ and remember to have fun!
Pet Babette as often as you can... Oh, and remember to ruffle LRod's hair from time to time. ~grin~ It'll do him good.
Love & GodSpeed
