T minus 3…

Star Date 04102016

I will be on the road to Exton, PA, in a bit. Interruption for a very special announcement…Vegans…look away:

My T sent me that last night, right before seepytime. You’d think I’d dream about it. Nope. I do recall a dream… a snippet of one, but that’s it…the first in a long while. Rob S and I were on a ship. He was his current age, but I saw him as a boy. We were looking for his parents. We found his dad, then I awoke. And….ponder.

Afire Love –

Darlin’ hold me in your arms The way you did last night And we’ll die inside For a little while here oh

I could look into your eyes Until the sun comes up And we’re wrapped in light and life and love Put your open lips on mine And slowly let them shut For they’re designed to be together oh With your body next to mine Our hearts will beat as one And we’re set alight We’re afire love

Love, love

See the love, the love, the love, the love

A few more words …from Jon McLaughlin:

If Only I –

slowly all the faces turn to yours like no one else exists anymore I’d talk to you if only I could speak and I’d dream of you if I could fall asleep

Soon to be Allegheny General Hospital. Not quite the celebration. Almost 40 days ago, we received word of Charlie. She’s had the tough conversations with me. I have kicked and screamed. I have fought and cried. And here we are…days away from the unknown. Our unthinkable. Another day for almost everyone else. What I would not give to hold her hand. To awaken and see her, to know that I am truly alright…that we are alright. Instead, I know nothing. I have no control. I have a ticking clock and very few ticks left before Friday. There is an EP that Jon McLaughlin put out…a string version. Take a listen…

“I’ll Follow You” People tell me there will come a time When your heart and mine will grow cold No more staring at the evening sky Low replaces high when you’re old

As long as you’re around I’ll follow you You won’t ever be alone As long as you’re around I’ll follow you And I will be wherever you go

They say the future is our enemy Time eventually will set the sun But I believe in you and you believe in me How can we ever go wrong?

As long as you’re around I’ll follow you Heart is never gonna break As long as you’re around I’ll follow you And I will give whatever this love takes

So be patient baby Hold me close I hope you understand You’re a beautiful woman And I’m just a man

So in the hours of the darkest kind When it’s hard to find who we are One can stare into the other’s eyes Be each other’s light in the dark

As long as you’re around I’ll follow you You won’t ever be alone As long as you’re around I’ll follow you I will be wherever you go

So…that’s where I am. I need to pack and get ready for a road trip. I am thankful to have a newer friend with me. Ed. Introverts and keepers to ourselves…yet …we connect. Go figure. I hope you understand that as you read this dribble, my thoughts…my feelings…today, I am not negative, for I have been given the best gift in the world. I am not negative. I am reflective….

Not this

This

Fast forward. Nothing like a day on the road to keep your mind off things. Well….if you have an Ed with you. I did. Good conversation. No accident there. Settled in at hotel for the eve. Really cannot believe we are just two days away.

Final thought. I cannot top Jon McLaughlin…for the trifecta. Circle gets the square.

“I Am Always Going To Love You” Well I felt it from the moment That you stepped into the light There was absolutely nothing I could do I’d be blessed or I’d be cursed For the rest of my life ‘Cause I knew that I was always going to love you

I’m going to love you til my dying day I’ll be beside you when you’re old and grey Just like the feelings that I feel right now I’m never going to go away

If you ever hit your head and You lost your memory So that every morning started life anew Well with every passing day I’d invent another way to show that I am always going to love you

I’m going to love you til my dying day I’ll be beside you when you’re old and grey Just like the feelings that I feel right now I’m never going to go away

From the picture perfect moments That I never want to end To the couch and tv kind of afternoons You’re a light that’s always shining And there’s a million reasons why I know that I am always going to love you
