Ciao for now

[thomryng]

It's now just after 5:00PM local west-coast time, and I'll be leaving for the airport in less than four hours.

My grandmother's wake is tomorrow, and the funeral is Tuesday. I'm to be a pallbearer, apparently. Due to the endless muddle that is last minute flying, I shan't be coming back until Thursday. I will be without my laptop and largely incommunicado until then.

Just in a complete dither. Pray for us.

So I will pave this road till glory
Sets our broken spirit free
From every cross-soaked nail pours endless rain
With tears no eye should see
But they could fill our highest ocean
And the rivers in between
With every blade that flowers must grow then drown
With love our cruelest sea

So with a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Hail the shower from the broadside
To the heavens down below
Draw one last breath from your fanning ship
Sink the hunger in us all
Shake the hand that speaks of freedom
Kiss hate one final bow
Till each twilight falls then rests till dawn and tomorrow's never sleep

So with a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
With each word forever speaks your grave

And of the fool we shall not mention
That depraves the cries of youth
Drag not your strength from government
But from the voices they abuse

So with a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Only time will tell when this rain of hell, shall wither in defeat
Separate the bread they forgot to share, till the milk still left to feed
Though this body aches then disappeared into the ground, our seeds
He said, "I'd, I'd always comfort thee"

So I will pave this road to glory
Which is the broken spirit's soul
Resignate with perfect reason
Shut life's last gloomy door

So with a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
With a wonder and a wild desire
I will crawl from under every weight
With a wonder and a wild desire
Bless the day it was I shared your name
Yesterday forever speaks your grave

Things happen for a reason when they happen! And something falls through it was not meant to be and there is something better waiting down the road. You may find yourself back in communication sooner than you think. I have this new Mac that is not totally set up yet and needs help (hint, hint). This is your mother speaking at 2:30 in the morning. She can't sleep and she can't type anymore either. See you at O'Hare at about 10 AM although I think your sister Mel will do the driving. You probably will not read this untill after the fact if you don't have your laptop.

Sending good thoughts your way.

"Pray for us"--always. But if you'd also like me to take a more active role here, we could all have another night again when you get home. . .just to commiserate/cheer each other up. Let me know!
