Just me

Boy, it has been a long while since I have blogged. It hurts to touch the keys and know that I will be writing a final earthly goodbye to you, my gregarious Daddy.

Daddy, I want you to know that your transformation is bitter sweet to me. I will miss you madly, but you have  always been  in God's hands and he was gracious to you. There was no fear and I hope little pain in your metamorphosis. You are now a new creature, one that I will probably not be able to communicate with again until I join you, as I trust you went into the light. 

I hope that Terry was your guide, but you were loved by many who passed before you and it is hard to say who would have the honor to be your escort. If you are able to watch over me, I pray you will. I know I have not lost your love but it has transcended this time and this space, for now.

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to spend time with you here. Some believe we choose the life we live here and the souls we encounter. If I did, then bully for me for choosing you. You were not perfect and neither was/am I, but we loved each other and this did not waiver. You brought joy and wonderment to my life. Opening my eyes to see the splendor of the world. Your eyes sparkled and your smile and laugh made everyone happy. You always had a song on your lips. May your voice be heard again in heaven and may the Angels join in for a good old fashioned hymn.

Vincent Price

                    May 27th, 1911 to October 25, 1993       

Wow, I still can't believe it! I am wearing a Navajo, Sterling Silver and Turquoise bracelet from Mr. Price's private collection. My alltime favorite actor! I purchased it from his daughter Victoria. I don't think I will ever take it off! I even slept in it last night!! 

I have ALWAYS loved Vincent Price. To me he was the Everything man. He had everything. He was tall, good looking, intelligent, well spoken, artistic, sophisticated. I could listen to him speak endlessly.

He also loved animals! I recently read a book he wrote called " The Book of Joe" about his dog and him. I loved it. So Vincent. I could almost hear his voice while reading it. I also recently watched "The Sinister Image" video where in an interview he used the word Wonderful a lot and it hit me - that is what he was..WONDERFUL - Full of Wonder. A lover of life.

Gone But Not Forgotten - 

Time

Wow, I can't believe how much time has gone by since my last post! A lot has happened!!

So much, that I don't think I am able to record my feelings at this time, but will revisit later when I can collect them along with my thoughts... for now I just want to jot down the events for posterity.

December 25th, 2008 - Larry had 5 seizures and Mom and I spent the day in the Hospital with him.

December 26th, 2008 - Florence Park Care Center called and noted that Dad should be admitted to Hospice.

Ok, now I can get back to blogging... recent events.

Rewrite

True friends tell you when your writing stinks in a nice way! Thanks, to great feedback, I have rewritten the first chapter of "Unveiled" and I think it is MUCH better.

Jack Klugman

I grew up with T.V. in the 70's. I loved and still love "The Odd Couple"! One of the satellite stations has put Felix and Oscar back to work as the lovable and hilarious "Odd Couple". If you haven't seen this show - you will want to catch it - sometime. You will LOL!

Watching the show, I knew Tony Randall had died, but it made me wonder about Jack Klugman. I thought he was probably in his 80's. Acording to Wikipedia he is 86. I hadn't realized though that his real life wife was Brett Somers who played his ex-wife Blanche on "The Odd Couple" They were married in 1953 until her death in 2007. Although, they were separated since 1974 - they were still married. WOW! After Brett died, he married Peggy Crosby in February of 2008 - who he has lived with since 1988.

Check out the Wikipedia page for more info on his career.

He is a GREAT actor in my book, I loved him in Quincy, Twilight Zone episodes, and he was great in "12 Angry Men".

Don't you just love the internet! If you ever think to yourself - I wonder what happened to ____? You're just a Google away! I do this often, so now I can share with my blog buddies - just in case you were wondering too!
