What a lesson! Besides sharing my surname, Steven seemed like a kind of friend you can't seem to live without. What an earthy autobiographical eulogy!<br /><br />I lost my mother and father to cancer, but I have never lost a truly close friend yet. Of course, I can only count those on one hand at the moment.<br /><br />I agree with Lady S, others are put in our path for reasons yet to be known, a quest we soon will indulge in across the pond next week!<br /><br />Having come close 4 times now to joining the "Cosmic Ginger Ale Club", it seems that I have not been deemed worthy of the Last Question yet. I look forward to sharing the answer with Steven Wells on that appointed day.<br /><br />In honor of your esteemed friend, I bestow an honorary title of Knight of the Moleskine, Spirit and Ale upon Sir Swells of Philly!<br /><br />Sir Hook Who Use to Be Afraid of Dying and Living, But Now Is Not Afraid of Either of WarrickdkWellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036130304612683613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-30302078548789591102009-06-25T12:49:36.488-05:002009-06-25T12:49:36.488-05:00One part of growing older is losing friends and fa...One part of growing older is losing friends and family... Some at young ages...and we have DQ Blizzards "along with Brandon" just as we used to...<br /><br />In this my 50th year I have learned that the ones we love the most are most often the ones we lose.<br /><br />However, there are so very many more out there who come into our lives for some cosmic purpose...and LIFE goes on...<br /><br />All the more reason to not waste the moments on stuff or times or people who don't bring happiness and peace and pleasure<br />to our world.<br /><br />Lady Suzanne,<br />remembering to savor every moment and to greet each day with a smile on my face and hope in my heart<br /><br />I kept the CarpeDiem license plate from my PT Cruiser which has gone on to its new home - reminder to Seize the Day!Lady Suzanne of Greenbriarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715427827385897484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-1355278977698165082009-06-25T11:44:16.281-05:002009-06-25T11:44:16.281-05:00Yea, I can't go to a specific pizza place in t...Yea, I can't go to a specific pizza place in town without getting a plate-load of mushrooms at the salad bar in honor of Bill (not cancer, but killed in a car accident when we're in college). <br /><br />And you're right, it's never the same.<br /><br />"I speak as someone whose greatest craving at this exact moment is not world peace and universal democracy or a rational and global redistribution of wealth, but a can of ice cold ginger ale."<br /><br />Great line.
