I wish I knew about the star on my name but this is all new to me and I don't know how to do it. But anyways, I had about 14 members of my family on my friends boat yesterday in Marina Del Rey. We went about 3 miles into the ocean and we stopped. I asked if anyone wanted to speak about dh and my nephews spoke about how he would throw them in the pool when they were younger, how he tried to put a string on their teeth to pull it out and how dh taught them how to sweet talk people when your in a messy situation so it ends well on both sides. The other one spoke about how he sparked the interest in Martial Arts . My sister just said I will miss you, and that broke me up, because she never speaks in front of a crowd and she did that for him. My daughter spoke about his journey in these 10 months and how he slowly disappeared every day, but two weeks before he passed he was with us and she spoke of how I held him when he would be standing and say in his hear," I love you so much", and very softly he said " I know". This was a miracle for us because he has not been speaking for months. He lifted his arm and put it around my waist and was rubbing my back. I looked at his face and he had tears coming down both cheeks and his nose was red from crying. He was back for that short moment and heard how we love him. two weeks later, he was gone. I then spoke about how he met me when I was 24 years old, a very naive girl and he was a man of the work and of women, and he choose little old me. I called him my wild horse, tamed by love. I remember he always said never by gifts for occasions only, buy them for just because. If you buy for occasions only, you become an occasional buyer. We stopped the boat, and my daughter and I held the remains, and slowly let him go into the ocean. He had a brother in canada that also died of this demon. When we let him go, I said be free my love and go find your brother. That was the short of the day, and then we had friends come over to the house and ate.
Paula, I am not sure how you add the star after your name, but assume you go to your profile and add an asterick at the end. You certaninly deserve it!
