^^ hmm, wife left him for neighbor, they found meth/alcohol/weed in car, previous DUI conviction, $55K take home pay(?) for a family of 7, and at 32 yrs old his father still calls him "Little Tim".............. I'm thinking severe mental illness + acute stress in this case. terribly sad & extremely tragic!
RIP all those who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 and may their families all have peace.
Unrelated to 9/11 since I don't usually contemplate what day it is upon awakening, today was started thinking of how cool it is when you can feel someone's presence over your shoulder; I feel a touch on my back, neck, head, arm (just once in a while, not all the time) when there is no one physically there.... I smell cigar smoke when no one is home & no one I know even smokes them. I think (maybe) it's felt from those who have returned to non-physical form and offer us their greater consciousness when we're open/receptive to it. As usual this morning, I began listening to my go-to-consciousness person on youtube and she described how we come here to this physical world to experience 3 main things: freedom, growth, and joy. "Our current society gets stuck on growth, always talking about it -- growth, growth, growth," and she went on to say "but what about joy, joy is just as important and so is freedom." She said "there is no death, no one dies, they just transition back to a state of consciousness from which they came, and they remain interested in us & with us, loving us always. There is no other side, they're still here, just in different form, and they are not at all sad about it & they don't want us to be."
I closed my eyes to take all of that in when my husband walked in, chatted about whatever, then told me "Oh & by the way, Dick O passed away on Tues." My friend Dick O I met while in my 20s at work, just one the nicest, much older, non-ego-type men I'd ever met; he was a VP of engineering; we took a liking to each other right away (professionals of course, just a general liking), but I always thought he was a very kind man. We reconnected on FB several years ago, long after he retired, and started playing Words With Friends, sometimes we'd have 5-6 games going at once and play all evening, round & round; I often told him too many games made me dizzy... he'd laugh and agree to start fewer with me. I won most of the time and we'd laugh how aggravating that was for him, but he'd beat me occasionally & we'd celebrate that or if he got a winning streak as sometimes happens on WWF. Our WWF boards almost always got to be stair steps, which makes the game even harder, so I'd ask of we could please stop doing that, but we always did anyway; he said he liked the challenge. He always wished me a happy bday and happy anniversary and he called me "friend" and he was a friend to me.
I don't even know what happened to him or get to say 'goodbye,' he suddenly stopped playing & then my WWF game stopped working all together last week. I had to delete it & reinstall it, I started a new game with him yesterday, thinking how much I missed playing him. He passed away on Tuesday.
I just wanted to write about this somewhere where no one really cares or knows, one of those GYY things. I will really miss my friend Dick O; he was a kind, gentle, Polish man I will never forget. He had a beautiful wife and a large family, blessed life, and I know they must be deeply grieved over their loss. I so enjoyed his eagerness to play WWF games with me & I will miss that joy & how he never tired of playing, we've played it for years; he was kind to me at work and later gave me the joy of winning, winning all the time; it was a relief. Here he is on his last birthday in May, he was 73. RIP my friend, I will really miss you!!!
why everyone doesn't drive some form of an electric car in this day in age, is beyond me, or at the very least, if it's a couple, 1 of the cars is a hybrid. People are endlessly interesting in their decision making. Anyway, electric FTW!
^^ agreed, but have to admit I was really hesitant until we got one; it is heaven on wheels, handles like a dream, so easy in every way, roomy inside... never thought I would enjoy it this much & never really believed they could be powerful, but they are. This thing zooms so fast you have to restrain! lol
but I meant to say, will really miss him, which I will.... but his car makes it a tad easier haha
