Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch-Part Six

[Flowersoul]

Oh dear, where are my manners!

So much tragedy, I had decided not to share this here, but can't help myself. We lost a very dear friend yesterday to a dirt bike accident. He had been living with us. I asked him what he was thinking about when this picture was taken during our vacation a few weeks ago. He said he was praying prayers of gratitude for the beautiful day. He was thirty-four.~R.I.P. Gabriel.

He came home from work about 2 pm and grabbed a couple of sodas. I asked if they had knocked off early. He said no, that they were working down the street and he would be back in a little while. He was a landscaper. He didn't come home from work last evening and his family came by today. I'm crushed. Devastated.

He had such a bright future and had accomplished wondrous things. I admit, I honestly had some reservations when I first met him, but he was such a good man, a likable person, and was working hard to do all the next right things. He made us laugh every day and was truly an angel regrowing his wings. We loved him like one of our own kids. It just seems like the only times I can make to show up are when I'm bearing bad news. I read thru posts when I can, but I can't keep up with everything that's going on. My head is too full right now. The grief is overwhelming.

I'm going to drop this little blog post right here about a mini-vacation we had recently. We took Gabriel with us. The first pic in the post is like the one I refer to above. Ironically, It's titled:
Leaving the World Behind

That's just horrible, Susan. My heart goes out to you and yours.

What does RS stand for?

 

[yiddleboge6]

What does RS stand for?

Rocket scientist.....her husband ......

ETA:.....sorry...

I don't use his real name on my blog. I try to refer to him as the Rocket Scientist. Sometimes I forget in the comments. There are people on the net that don't need to associate him with his employer. He never mentions his job on Facebook. You folk already know about him and this post will quickly be lost in the shuffle. People are crazy. They try to bribe employees for sensitive information.

He made us laugh every day and was truly an angel regrowing his wings.

Then likely he has... but little joy in that for those left behind.

I found this rather encouraging, although not the end all!

Challenges faced by the FDA. Will it lose this battle?

TY for sharing thing, it's encouraging.

Been sans Internet for 24 hours from lightning. Not sure how my phone is connecting.

Mine got blasted by lightning. An outside connection box got destroyed. There's also been damage to some electrical circuits. My neighbor says he lost 2TVs, a freezer and microwave.

sorry to hear about your internet...your phone is probably connecting through the cell network - make sure you don't go over the plan limits.

I agree with him completely. If anyone here knows where I work, it would be because I told them in person. I have never said where I work online.

I knew it was code for your husband but I had forgotten the acronym.

I really enjoyed reading that blog. In some way it buffers MY grief over Gabriel's completely untimely death.

Peach, & RS, I'm so sorry this happened. I know how fond you were of Gabe, & what a shock this is. I'll be praying for you & his family.

Yep, remebering the good times we shared helps.

Thanks Kenna. It is a shock. He was well on his way to achieving so many goals in life. Heartbreaking, but I know God used him to reach a number of other troubled people. He had much purpose in his short life.

We can only hope ... and fight.

I'm glad you came over from FB and posted here too. We're your friends and sharing and letting it out in times of grief can be helpful. So I hope just letting us know about it has helped you a bit.

ps: oh, didn't anyone every tell you, you have a nice way with words.

 

[bigbells]

I worried about that, but no, it's somehow connecting via Wi-Fi to my DSL.

I appreciate you all, it just seems like all I ever have to say here is something tragic and I hate to sound like the grim reaper. It is helpful. One of the nicer things about the internet I have had to limit my internet time to get work done around here. Thank you for the kind words. A few people have told me that, but it's always nice for a writer to hear

I am so sorry about Gabriel

 

[seapeach]

I am so sorry about Gabriel

Thanks. A couple of the porchers had met him. I pm'd them about the situation. I wasn't going to post this here because there is just so much tragedy in the world these days, I didn't want to contribute. But the porchers are a huge support network and I needed the love.

I am now further convinced that the world has gone stupid, not crazy, stupid. People targeting police, who for the most part just want to protect us, people waving guns in the street, no respect for those in authority, no brains in those in authority, the revolution is coming, idiocracy is coming, get out of the cities cause that's where the stupid people will congregate. And as for the idiots in Dallas and houston, look for some good old fashioned texas whoopass to come down on them.

Many prayers for your family and his.

What beautiful words in memory of him.
