honoring a good man!

a dear elderly friend crossed over this morning a 3;30
crossed peacefully in his sleep
he lived a good & long life!!!
i went to see him Thursday, when i came in his room
i knew he would be leaving soon.
knew he was in transition, i sat down beside his bed & my tears started flowing, i held his hand * he placed my hand upon his heart, and place his over mine! Love him so much, & as beautiful as he was it was a challenge, i knew i would most likely not be holding his hand again. he let me give him some water with a little sponge, most of it dribbled out of the side of his mouth, i wiped it up & he winked at me like he always did,
& then gave me a thumbs up!
I felt so honored & humbled as well in that moment.
we were going back to see him this morning, that was the plan.
he was ready to leave, ready to be with his beloved.
and so he did.

i met him when i moved to this little town in '84
he was ALWAYS good to me!
always encouraged me.
always complemented me on my "great outfits"
loved it when i wore a hat.
he was a great supporter of this community.
i am beyond gratefull for his friendship & love
i am thankful for his advice & for knowing him!
fly free my friend!
