Thoughts...

I read this and it made me very sad. Often I find myself in a situation such as this, and all for not, it turns out much the same. This is written by my very good friend "Dale" W. What a gift he has to write these musings. To understand the whole person, to be selfless, to want a better thing for someone else then what you have to offer, is the true deffinition of love.

I’m your friend
And I was wondering
And I was thinking

Why are you alone?
Is it because people think
You are less than perfect?
Is it because people think
You are the wrong
Height, weight, build?
That you are unattractive?

I’m your friend
And I was wondering
And I was thinking

Why don’t people see you
Like I do?
I know you
I see you

Kind, intelligent, loyal,
Handsome
Strong arms and gentle hands
Proud face and delicate heart
You act distant to the world
But I see you
I know you

You Care.
So many pieces to you
I know you
I see you

I’m your friend
I’m just your friend
And I’m sorry
It was an accident
I’m sorry
I didn’t mean to love you.

Loved Ones... Eulogy for Donald Richard Vanderzee

Why can't today be like any other day, like any other Tuesday? Just an idle Tuesday in January? Today is not like any other day, today my greandfather passed away. He was a great man, a brilliant man, with lots of ideas. Love for his family above all else. He was 82 years old. With much of a struggle thrrough his life he lead it the best he knew how and always came up with an answer that worked. This is an amazing thing because he leaves 9 children, their spouses, 26 grandchildren, their spouses, and 11 great grandchildren who adored him very much. A WWII fighter and overall businessman, he has faced many srtife through-out his long life, including the passing of his wife, my grandmother three years ago, January 6th, Donna Jean Vanderzee, to alzheimers. He was fairly healthy and very sharp for having to endure all that he has had happen.

I miss my grandparents, I love them very much. It only brings happiness to my family to know that they are together now, in heaven.

Peace be to your families, God bless!
