I hear the story of a very loving and faithfu...Joe,<br />I hear the story of a very loving and faithful husband and father who, regardless of the sadness and the vicissitudes of life, both economic and physical, managed to maintain stable and significant traditions for his children and hold his family together despite much grief and many losses. I hear the story of a man who has deep and profound compassion for the suffering of others who feel alone and abandoned at a time of year when everyone is supposed to "put on happy". I know an old soul with depths of wisdom named Spadoman and I learn something from him every time I come over here. Thanks for sharing the love, Joe. I offer it back to you. I am without family on Christmas. I usually spend it alone, but a friend invited me this year. So it is nice to connect with folks like you, who make me remember that there are fathers out there who love their children.<br />Peace and blessings at Christmas,<br />NoelleNoelle Clearwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879264907115107737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-21355619782879341822010-12-23T19:33:34.073-08:002010-12-23T19:33:34.073-08:00A moving and heartfelt story, my friend.
"Le...A moving and heartfelt story, my friend.<br /><br />"Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me."<br /><br />I will try not to call you a 'pothead'! <br /><br />But even with the pain of what life has for us in this moment and what it has brought to us in the past, it is all very much so the fabric of life. We cannot separate and cast away those threads that are painful, or all is unraveled. Christmas Day represents the hope that we should all have in our hearts. And being joyful in the fact that there is a promise of redemption. Without that, well, I can't even begin to imagine.<br /><br />Mele Kalikimaka!<br />Peace Be With You...Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358261311454047999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-339346382109172022010-12-23T14:34:22.381-08:002010-12-23T14:34:22.381-08:00Thank you 'Man.

Would that you could deploy it further.<br /><br />Happy Christmas. Happy 2011.

I wouldn't have missed having those people in my life for the world, but I miss them and my world is transformed by the loss....as I'm sure is yours.<br />We keep putting one foot in front of the other, doing the deal--trying to pass on some of the love, some of the lessons....some of the joys.<br /><br />There's still holes in my heart. I'm thinking there will always be--but G-d's gracious and puts people in my path that shine a bit of light into those holes and fill me with their genuine care and concern (and probably love, truth be told--though I'm hesitant to take the liberty to name it).<br />I think He's taken good care of me--I think He's taken good care of lots of us.<br /><br />((((((((((((( Spadoman ))))))))))))<br /><br />I wish you peace, much joy, abundant blessings.... and love.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408403855260279799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-87196228700064459492010-12-22T15:15:39.843-08:002010-12-22T15:15:39.843-08:00God bless you and yours, Brother.
