My beloved Neal, aka Paddlefeet died this morning on our farm after a sudden brain hemorrhage from his cancer. We found his cancer too late to do anything about it. He died with great dignity despite his brain being relentlessly destroyed by cancer. He did not whine, he tried to stay and care for me as long as possible, but it was not possible. I made them take him off life support and give him back to me yesterday, so he could pass over on his own farm. He was larger than life, a pirate, a rogue, a lover of life and all animals. We never had a disagreement in 11 years of marriage. He is also the brother of WBales. Tip a glass to him if you wish tonight and celebrate his life. I am having a beer, then I shall try to sleep a week. Octavia(aka Lana)

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
Lana, I am so sorry for your loss.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance. Saman Mohammadi The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. Albert Einstein "...if the military is going to defend our freedoms, then we need freedoms to defend. Our freedoms must be restored before the military can defend them..." Lawrence M. Vance Você me trata desse jeito só porque eu sou preto. Junior (my youngest son)
So sorry to hear this.

God bless you both Octavia, and my deepest condolences. He was fortunate to be able to pass at home in what was probably his favorite place in this world. I've no doubt you'll see him again.
Peace to you, Octavia. Paddles was a favorite of mine, and many others here. Please express my condolences to Bales. I miss his posting badly.
Oh Lana, what a terrible loss. I am so sorry.

Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson I am deeply grieved to hear of your loss, madame. I have had several of my own of late. Bless you and yours.
May strength and renewal be your future. Best wishes and so sorry for your loss.
Dear Lana, I am so sorry to hear that. I gained a good impression of him in the time he shared with us here. He was a good spirit that was full of that which is found in the best examples of humanity. Your loss is our loss. I wish you well, and I wish him Bon Voyage. The spirit which was and is does not die with the mortal frame. I wish you a strong heart and spirit as you adjust to the loss of your friend. My Sincere Condolences, W
Octavia, You did right by him, it is rare these days. Those who I have known and loved are with me always in spirit, God bless, he will be too.
I am very sorry. My sincere condolences. Life will never be the same without him - he made his mark on many people.
Lana, my sincere condolences go out to you for your loss. Rgds, Mike
Lana, A love story like yours surpasses the physical realm. I so admire your loving kindness and bravery during this stretch of your journey together. May you find comfort in the joy shared and lived with Neal.

Lana Very sorry to hear of your sudden loss. I'm not much for words of this effect but as a very close one of my own of 21 years passed away three years ago. I am still not in belief they are gone. Rest in peace, Paddlefeet.
I don't know what to say. The world is certainly a shade greyer with Paddles' passing. So few possess the foresight of you and Neal.
LHOP [Little House on the Prairie] ~ Remember Me (2) prt5 That episode was on TV last night. Am posting that segment in memory of him because what I remember most is his spirit of Thanksgiving at the table here.

...if you can only remember me with tears, don't remember me at all. How right is that? God bless.

Thanks. Neal was/is nearly half Cherokee.
You're welcome. I am part Indian too (Cherokee also) but not that much.

I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
