I haven't much time. The end is right next to us so I'll just say what has to be said before I'm gone. These past 14 years have been the redeeming part of a charmed life in which I've had so many memorable times, most of which just happened without any brilliance or planning on my part, mostly just the outcome from following my instincts as flawed as they may be. I know I was put here to love - first as a marriage saver to lift my mom from despair, if not depression which turned into a perfect pairing of grateful mommy and affection loving little boy for 50 continuous years. Then without any break, I found the true love I'd been searching for to make me whole in an innocuous bar in downtown Atlanta confirming that my belief that God was with me and my selection by God to make love happen put me face to face with her to do it the way I do it. I never used my time here to become famous or wealthy even though I found some popularity to offset a fair amount of notoriety in my workplace and home front, plus I believe I favorably influenced and maybe changed the well being of certain people I had the opportunity to engage with throughout my years. All of this pales to the substance of my life with her in my arms from our first encounter. I can move on to the next realm as an actualized, fulfilled happy man thanks to her. This doesn't ignore the place in my heart for my family who let me go to where I had to so she & I could be together, never losing the connection with my sibs and their brood. So cry not for me Argentina, I've tasted it all and it was good.---------------------------------------- ------------------------------
OK, I made up the part that the end is near just to see what I'd say if it were. Pretty true stuff here, my dears.
