I know that you're going through a heart-breaking time.

My love pours out for you, Whisper.

It hurts that I can't be there with you and give you whatever comfort I can.

Finished watching the last episode of seaon one of Black Sails... a series about pirates in the Caribean. Absolutely loved it!


Just throwing in a promo... enjoy!

... or shits and giggles, as a Marine buddy of mine is fond of saying:

Thank you for relaying a message from a friend. This song is dedicated to you for your kind generosity:

It's one of THOSE days:

You've been away, Whisper. I fully understand your reasons and I dutifully respect your privacy and need for distance.

Just know that your beauty, wisdom and soft heart are missed terribly here.


Come back when you're ready, m'lady... I am always here for you.

My Mom's best friend passed away at 88. She was a different lady... talented(played the guitar and piano), outgoing and persistent.

She could rub you the wrong way at times, but was always there for the people she loved.

She would call you up, ask what she needed to ask, then prattle on for an hour. I know that she missed my Mom and that she was lonely, so I would listen and say all the "uh-huhs" and "yeahs" in the right spots until she decided to hang up.

I owed her... she gave me a job in her store when I couldn't find anything else. She always smiled and laughed at whatever I said. She was abrasive at times, but you can overlook that when someone obviously loves you and cares for you like you're their own.

She was laid to rest yesterday. I'm sure her and my Mom have a lot of catching up to do in Heaven.

Farewell, Flo. Thank you for being a good friend to my Mother... and for helping me along the way.

She was a huge Dolly Parton fan. This is for you, sweetie.


In love and remembrance.

A close friend of my family has passed away. I will be attending her funeral tomorrow and will try to put it all in perspective later.

For now, only sadness in my heart.
