He knew he was dying and was asking the family if they had any messages they wanted passed on to our family on the other side. He was unique. I would love to see the picture of him.<br />Tom DuncanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-90122179804403700862007-04-21T22:47:00.000-04:002007-04-21T22:47:00.000-04:00We grow so much by meeting people so different tha...We grow so much by meeting people so different than we are.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this eloquent, lovely post.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-43343862744047384332007-04-21T07:40:00.000-04:002007-04-21T07:40:00.000-04:00A well written, literate post.

The Word of Wisdom requirement says no hot drinks (which gets coffee but has never stopped them from drinking hot chocolate). THe no hot drinks was an idea borrowed from an early 19th century health kick that didn't think hot drinks were good for you. that's probably more than you wanted to know!sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-68593397477103325652007-04-20T16:29:00.000-04:002007-04-20T16:29:00.000-04:00Northern boys do that too.
