Musical. unusual. and Realistical.

Stan here,

I am  not sure why I always find the need to put some sort of rhyme to the titles, But allow me to do so. My mind sort of goes this way.  It is interesting to me that in the course of life we all find adventures that bring us to a spot in life that words do not find the proper definition of the the spot that we reach.

The spot we are on right now is the very fact that we have a situation that requires a great degree of care and involves some degree of confusion.  It has within the picture some optimism.  Recently Deb has had 3-4 days of being able to get  out and do some things.   As we talk one of her friends is taking her to the January series which is a group of talks sponsored by a local college.  She always has dwelt in the feelings that come from the smart people and I guess that will continue till the end.

Can I say this?  We have been blessed by some good days.  We have been blessed by some good friends who have stayed overnight and during the day to help with the meds.  Also, some of the finer meals we have experienced.  I said to Deb a few days ago that one thing I would never understand is how many of our friends do not weigh 350 pounds at least.  Culinary skills around here have never been at the top of the list but the fine thought and preparation of some of the meals and treats we have seen and are appreciated in a special way. The end of life has a gentle exit ramp.  The friends we have have shown me in a special way how it is a gentle turn. I cannot thank you all enough.

Deb pounded out on the piano  a rendition of the songs she knows.  Let them ring in a special way.  It was so good to hear this again.The days of normalcy are a treasure, the days of pain are a pain, the days of music are a blessing and a gift. Through this all though are some strong days of late.  The best we have seen in while.

Thanks to all.

Stan the Man

  2. Deb,
    You are included in my daily prayers, so I think of you often. I pray that God gives you lots of strength and comfort. In the few times that we spent together, I felt a special connection and am blessed by knowing you.
