Kinetonian I'm crying as I'm reading your comment. How hurtful I still am and perhaps for a long time, because you're right, this would have been a way of them to know their roots.
But thanks a lot Kin for the great and timely message you accorded me, AND NO YOU DIDN'T UPSET ME.
Hello my friend. Yes, I feel like truly mourning and yet nobody even died but a whole part of me is totally lost.
It hurts my friend, my first time to really feel this way.
I didn't drink yet but watched a very good movie and one more to go called, HOME FRONT, and yes a very engaging movie and for a while wasn't feeling so bad..
But now into it again as I am scrounging all my pictures now, all those that had at least some copies..
Yes my goodness mi amigo, isn't it amazing how they traced that element? Yet it wasn't ever sprayed there?, just confirms the fact that our air circulates within the global sphere of our earth. and it does affect all the environment and it is so good that it is already banned..
Thank you so much my dear Freedom and how are you? Yes, you are very right. The memories gone away are best kept in the heart. My other daughter said the same thing..
Thank you MrWilling, I think that is a very good move and my daughter already got me two to watch as I don't even feel like doing anything than being here with all of you guys.
Thanks again..For all your kind words..
My feeling is so shaped up getting better just sharing and reading all of your input, and I am truly grateful..
Well thanks Anthony, they are here at my house right now and brought cake and food, and I am not quite sure yet what to do, but being so polite, I am showing my face and get out of the room.
I am not quite myself yet and yes, I think to be mad for a longer time at her would be a good idea..
Love, I am concerned about your situation and I hope our comments will cheer you up or at least know that you are not alone. You, like Glatgol, confirmed, need help. Now. Please if you can, go to a nearest clinic and have an assessment. Your last words are so powerful. You wish he wouldn't come back. Please, you owe it to yourself that no one can make you do anything without your consent, including him not coming back.
I have been once where you were, and wrote about 300 or so poems published in the Poetry Corner which is a part of this site. Check it out and your writings can be, like me, most cathartic and make you feel better.
God bless and keep being here as it allows you to express as much as you want. You are not alone.
Yes indeed, I do agree with you and thanks for those added information. When I was in Daintree, it prided itself from the only left Rainforest, unspoiled by humans and it is part of their advertised come on. But they can be wrong. I guess the key word is the RAIN FOREST?
I hear you my friend Guadal, yes, the brain has an absolute capacity to remember them, but the eyes do bring better sense of it and besides my children are the reasons I wanted to keep them as it gives pictures on how they were born, all of them three, with their younger years before they can remember. Unfortunately they would have been too happy to share it with their children when the time comes for them to show them how they were brought up in this world.
Lost you are truly right. Those photos can't come back. I just have to live with that. And no, I don't want to cut my 40 years of friendship with one of the very few that knows me, as me, inside and out. Thanks Lost.
My apologies, Wave. Thanks for your comment. I am now calm and collected. I am still in mourning and crying though, and that is why I addressed you Dedo, sorry about it, and please do forgive me. My eyes are still so burned out from crying and still in bed for the last 8 hours, which is so unlikely of me, as I sleep only 6 hours..a day.
Twazzle, yes, thank you so much. Indeed, two things came to mind here as you covered. The feelings I attached to those were not as high as I thought she had for them. My mistake but even then, why she left them outside of the garage is beyond me. I can't ever imagine why..she would do it.. like that. But my fault really because I never even mentioned about them after this other friend delivered it to their house.
Dedo thanks for noticing that on my profile. But in reality Dedo? Age is only a number. Nothing to do, at least to me, with how we carry our lives. I feel 25 years younger than my actual age, Dedo. Very physically fit and do 200 push up a day and only eat fresh vegetables and fruits with occasional new york steak each week..
I love your story Ed. Sometimes in our lives, these friends are truly those that help us witness our ups and downs and they do play a very important role in our journey. But you had to do what you had to do and that was important, too.
Your last comment, I hope so too. Although, we can also pray for them. This is the final message of Jesus, on the Cross, wasn't it? His last Seven Words, a testament of a man and God at the same time, to pray even for those who was responsible for his Death. Of which He freely accepted, for the forgiveness of all our sins. So I will pray for him, too, Ed. As I believe..
Well said Leo.. and I did qualify my response to you. I am very well aware of what goes on behind any propaganda..but you are right and therefore entitled to your opinion.
Thank you and yes, I had the worst day of my whole life today Leo.
Wallops thank you so much, you do have a very big point and I do love them so much. I only have three of them, friends for over 35 years, the other one is the one who introduced me here at the site who lives in Geneva and so many of our pictures and travel together with her, here in the US and Europe many times..
Yes ading I am aware of that now, and the reason is because, I didn't have to look at them all the time, yet, and that to put them in the storage (40 to 50 big albums of thousands of photos) can take so much of space and very heavy. They were very heavy..
I do have a little bit as I started taking pictures of them about three years ago when the first Iphone came out and lost and then the Samsung 3 came and took some of them again. So I do have a little bit, but none of them on my children and their successive parties and births and our travels..
I think I really need that drink Bitterfly oppps sorry my friend butterfly...I do right now, I can use the strongest Vodka and or Remy Martin perhaps..Burn my mind along with those beautiful memories.
All my pictures from my travels, half way around the world. The elaborate Filipino wedding. My mom raised two huge pig for it..As in our tradition, even after my ex and I went to get married in Tahoe with civil, wedding..The family didn't consider us married until done in the church which we obliged and Monsignor Gaffey, a very Irish great and good priest conducted the wedding, together with Father Kelly and late Father Des, (all Irish and very great servants of the Lord) My children, thank God has copy as they each made several copies of these pictures. But the albums were really and truly done so beautiful as the Cameras used for them, were all good.

Enigma, yes, indeed it is the documents that my children would have loved to keep, and in fact, one of my daughters asked about them already if she can keep them as a family legacy. I said yes. This all contain our travels, their birth, their birthday parties, their communion. Our houses that we owned, businesses that my ex had (lost most of the money on its last years) A total reminder of what and how we did things.
Yes Non, I do think of that, and the reason, I left from the house I used to lived on (a good friend) was because I moved from 6 hours away back to the Bay Area and it was safe there. I only took the necessities with me, that I used everyday, like I said I am only reduced to a very small room at my daughter's house.
But I did plan on going back once settled as my daughter used to lived in a two bedroom apartment and I planned on going right after my retirement and that now that we have a bigger house and my room is quite bigger..
On the other note Guadal, if you truly want to experience a very religious communion with nature, book yourself a trip to Queensland, Australia, Daintree, and you will witness, a most rare and the only left UNSPOILED nature left in the world. How we, humans are so insignificant to this magnificent life gifted us by NATURE OR GOD, however suits your belief. I have written so many poems for those experience..
Some of these trees are actually taller than that of the Great Sequoias but not as massive..
I am so glad you have checked the magnificent, most rare and unusual gift of nature to man. And to think that it is within easy reach from where I stand. Coincidentally Guadal. Luther Burbank, please google also, declared that my County, Sonoma is the most chosen place on earth as far as ground, fertility is concerned.
Personally, though, I would consider more of San Joaquin Valley, which is located 115 miles North of LA. It is the seat of the Almond and Carrot capital of the world. I had a two acres there for 7 years and I still have copies of my garden that just absolutely provided me food and sold in the Farmer's Market with the help of my children. I was certified Organic grower for 4 years. And now they are initiating the planting of Olives as the shortage of supply is reaching an unusual high according to the economic reports last year (Newsweek report, which I got a copy).
Anyways, yes Guadal, there are so many good things about the agriculture part of this area which provides a lot of carbon dioxide on the air that we breath.
So yes you can come and I am looking forward to it.
Personally being an American, has a lot of truly great perks, let me add this, after reading so many diversified comments in here..And having said that, I sure feel very lucky to be here and to be a part of the ONLY SUPER POWER in the world. At least this is the latest from Wikipedia report. And this is primarily and paramountly conjured from the economic and defense point of view. Now I am fully aware as to how much hatred hyped if not pure envy of us being citizens of this great country. Having said this, I am not putting down anybody or any country. That is why I said, I am lucky. It is purely of great luck to be here.
I have a personal story to tell. Wherever I go if found to be an American, I just feel this sneer and or not too good feeling about me. Yet they don't know me. I wont take it personally because, it is not me, they hate, it is the fact that America is.
When I was in Australia, now I don't travel first class anymore, I do economy and can you imagine, the service, they provide to Americans? EXCLUSIVE LINE FOR US ECONOMY PASSENGERS, FAST AND SPECIAL. So I asked the employee of Qantas, why so? And with a big smile on her face, said: "Well this is to encourage our best travelers and money generators of our business." Now that is inequality of service if you ask me.. But I didn't complain.
But yes, Leah, going back at your personal feelings, I do feel like you...I am just as imperfect as anyone else. But I do try to help in anyway on improving the world..as much as I can.
