Ron goes into hospital for an operation on June 11th and at his age (he is 71 the next day) there is always that worry so please forgive me if I need you more then

 

[loststar]

we will be here, I offer him my prayers and goodwill, and hope that everything comes out well

 

[loststar]

The bottom line is that I strive to live every day with my loved ones as if it were a lifetime in itself. I could live a thousands lives with each, and still want for a thousand more, so each day is allowed to be quietly precious. That is all I can do.

well said homberg, very well said, and thank you for sharing the happiness it is infectious, and I hope that every day lasts a lifetime for you

UYS, you know all our thoughts, and especially mine, go out to you, and we will all say that deepest prayer. There is no greater treasure than a loved one. And we know that with you, he is younger than his years. And by the way, I especially appreciate your story about meeting him. Us older guys are really appreciative of the attention from younger women.

Thank you for posting this. The age issue is the one battle I am guaranteed to lose too.

I could say more (and had, but deleted it) but I won't.

Thanks for leaving the age argument alone. What are you, thirty-five? Nothing like vigor.
And living each day as a separate and unique entity, unattached to any other will become more and more important to you as time progresses. May you have a thousand thousand more.

Anschul, you know how sensitive the witchling is. You better give her an icon too.

And you know how I feel about them, but just for our resident saucy blonde:



there. That oughta prove how much I appreciate UYS.

And by the way, Chefologia, you could always (gasp) just visit Kansas sometimes. And you could bring the Amazing A with you. I'm sure we'd love her and I bet we could manage to make her vaguely fond of us.

I can rather guarantee that we could show you a very good time. Maybe we can fix a few of your more traumatic memories of this place...

Hi everybody. What a gorgeous thread this is today. Homburg, you just make my heart get all big and shiny when you talk about how happy you are and imply that I had any little role in assisting that... Gratitude. Seriously.

I'm thinking, by the way, of a little poetic project that is related to Ron's surgery. It assumes the law of magical physics that says "attention is energy" and that we could provide a tangible assistance to Ron for the surgery. So I'm noodling on a challenge of some sort, the deadline for which would be, say, the tenth of June.

Witchling, what exactly will the surgery be, if you don't mind my asking? Need more data, and then I think I'm going to start one of my Mad Little Projects.

good afternoon, and bienvenue, you beautiful bistrovian poets.

Now cut that out! I love you, too, and anyway he's like the Jewish brother I always wanted and never had. So there.

It's a jewish thing. We blonde shiksas can't understand, but then, we have our own little special traditions.

Well, this situation is one that is near and dear to me, and while you aren't near, you are dear. I will be thinking about him. Remind us, please!

I have loads. I've joy to spare right now. She brought a small load of gifts for the kids, and the house is currently awash in happy. It's fun to see someone rocket to the top of the kids' list in the span of a day. They dig her

Thank you, my friend. As I typed, I realised it would do nothing but bring everyone down, so I decided to just examine the other side. I've long said that the end of life is what gives it meaning. Immortatlity would be dull, but I am jealous of these days as they rumble by ever faster, and more determined than ever to taste and savour and touch and laugh and smile and, well, like like I do now. Just with an extra person added in.

SO happy. thank youf or your help, Mystery Woman.

You could be there in person, you know. You're not that far away. It could be done. And we'd take good care of you.

It's not personal. I would do anything for you (including icons, if that's the thing that lights your candle.

That's really sweet, but it sure puts a damper on any lascivious thoughts that have been running through my head. And besides, I'm old enough to be your ...uh...father?

He is having a new knee it's not the actual operation as such it's the anaesthetic that worries me. So it will be a funny old few days as the 19th will be the anniversary of my mother dying with all the mixed emotions that will bring ...... guilt wrapped in sorrow for what should have been and never will be now. While he is away I am going to turn into a hermit (apart from visiting hours) and I will eat when I like and sleep when I like and answer the door to no one. Just me and the dogs to keep me company. Do you know your loving words have made my eyes all blurry?

And all of us, for what it's worth.

I understand your worry about the anaesthetic. It is more of an issue as we age. So I'm on it. See the new thread for details.

And speaking of aging, and all these little age-difference comments that are being made, it is interesting to me how many examples of this sort of relationship are in evidence on this forum alone. I'm another one - I'm 41 and my mates are 46 and 56. I heard the typical worries from my family, but those who have been where we are understand that these differences are not as significant as they may seem from the outside.

If a woman, or man, significantly younger than you is in love with you, it must say something very special about you. That's the only really important thing to remember.

You're only as old as the people you feel, after all.
