I don't even read them anymore - I'm down to looking at the GB (and maybe posting an inane comment once a month), this thread, the MT thread, and looking at stuff related to NYE with the dTb.
Maybe next year I'll start blessing you all with more of my posting
You've been warned!

You're still welcome in The Lounge.
Unless you try to bring in a camera.

| Cancer is such a horrible disease, the way it takes over just one little cell in the body, then spreads itself over more and more of the bodycell by cell, until the body is totally consumed by the malignancy and succumbs. Thank goodness my friend is through with his suffereing, and his family is being looked after. I still miss him though. ____________________

Yes it is, Doug. Bob often told me, "Lib, this is such a lonely disease."
I know in my heart he loved us dearly and he often told me how much he treasured the friendships he made here. Yours in partucular.
I miss him too. I'm so glad Cami's here. I see Bob's humor in her.

Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless CHRISTMAS TREES around the world below
with tiny lights like HEAVEN’S STARS reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so SPECTACULAR please wipe away that tear
for I am spending CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.
I hear the many CHRISTMAS SONGS that people hold so dear
but the SOUND OF MUSIC can't compare with the CHRISTMAS CHOIR up here.
I have no words to tell you of the JOY their voices bring
for it is beyond description to HEAR THE ANGELS SING.
I know HOW MUCH YOU MISS ME, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.
I can't tell you of the SPLENDOR or the PEACE here in this place
Can you just imagine CHRISTMAS WITH OUR SAVIOR face to face
I'll ask him to LIFT YOUR SPIRIT as I tell him of your love
so then PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER as you lift your eyes above.
Please let your HEARTS BE JOYFUL and let your SPIRIT SING
for I am spending CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN and I’m walking WITH THE KING.

| Wishing Denise and Cami O'Brien some respite from their grief and that some of the spirit of the holidays wash over them and bring some smiles to their faces. (This would also fall under 'what I want for Christmas'...) Peace be with you all. ____________________

I'll echo Deb.
Much love to Denise & Cami.
This has to be a hard holiday for them.
I hope it's as good as it can be.

Much love to the Dodd's & O'Brien's today. You bet it's hard. I last spoke to my sister 2 years ago tonight helping her get ready for bed. She didn't "wake up" the next day, and died early the morning of the 27th from kidney Cancer.
But as hard as it is there are still great moments of joy, different but special none the less to be had as well as remembered & treasured.

Gave my mother a copy of John Fogerty's latest cd.
Also told her about Coot's comment on the album, and the words behind the disc in the case. ____________________

Good Ol' Bobo.
I may have mentioned the co-worker who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He was going to put off the surgery until this year.
I told him about Bob and said don't you dare wait on this. He had his procedure mid-December and stopped by work today to say hi. It went very well and the diagnosis is really good.
I credit Bob and this thread. ____________________

I was thinking about him when I sent out the money order from the first photo auction.
Took me a long time to write the note I sent with it. ____________________
