spending time with him.  Just sitting.  He likes that,  that i sit with him.  I have no idea.  He may perk up.  

He is eating but eating much less.  Mostly he just rests.  From having spent so many years with Alz B and then the Old Cowboy,  it's just how it goes.  Things become slow motion.  So,  i sit with him.  We share the space,  but each of us,  stare off…off into our own daydreams.

i Love him.

    just a short time, a day, even, i so hope he can make it to
    that place, smell it, feel it.

    i will. When i sit with him, i “tell” him the whole story again,
    how it all is, and that includes everyone here, how we ARE
    the story, his, ours, this Place, the planet’s….
    as i tell him, i tell myself. Story Lives.

    ohh Grace, could you please place your hand gently, on the side of Gideon’s neck. Tell him from me, that I send him kindness and light.
    I know his Spirit will remain with you always Grace…OXOX

    Arms outstretched with love for Gideon, for you, keeping him close…Gideon, dear Gideon; I hold in my heart the special times that I saw him;-his majesty, his wise stance, his beauty…
    I hope that Emrie got a chance to see him. As an explanation for what I just wrote, when Emrie was born and grace posted photos here, I copied one of the photos of her with her Mama Alyssia, printed it on photo paper and sent it to grace with the words that she should do a “walkabout” with Emrie’s photo, showing her this land of her great Nana’s, Tay, Tazmeena, the goats and especially Gideon…

    It was like that with my dad on his last day with me. I just sat and talked about how our lives were together. None of the bad, hard things, just the good stuff. Helped me also to put the negative things away.
