I am still shocked at all that has transpired in my year hiatus from blogging.<br /><br />God bless you Z, and I have a hunch that Mr. Z is watching over you.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this from Mr. Z and thank you for sharing this in particular - I needed this reminder:<br /><br />"Hug your wife or husband, cherish them even on the days that's the last thing you feel like doing. Be optimistic, have faith, never complain, and remember that THINGS don't matter.

I don't believe anyone has ever put it more simply and more eloquently than he.<br /><br /><i>"Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. . . Their work shall live after them . . ."</i><br /><br />Those whom we dearly love never die as long as we remember them. Though their souls may be in Heaven, their spirits stay with us and continue to nurture, guide and comfort till we, ourselves, pass on to join them in Eternity.<br /><br />~ FreeThinkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-71092254624600608012009-10-23T22:19:36.779-07:002009-10-23T22:19:36.779-07:00Thank you, Z, for posting this.

Oh, that we would all hear his words & take them to heart.<br /><br />And thank you, too, for sharing some of the moments from the service celebrating his life. Beautiful, meaningful choices - as it should be. As others have shared, you continue to be in my prayers, at my every remembrance of you.<br /><br />We know he is in the presence of the Savior at this very instant. Thanks be to God for that assurance.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706229786132028791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-68126191433753011342009-10-20T00:55:48.734-07:002009-10-20T00:55:48.734-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Faith https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064746447414555577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-81370889358425448042009-10-19T22:54:44.890-07:002009-10-19T22:54:44.890-07:00thank you for writing, everyone.

I love the Adagio from Beethoven's Pathetique. I used to listen to it in the car every Saturday morning on the way to my son's vocal lessons. I was introduced to so much good music that way. Every show had a theme, and I was hooked from the very first show I heard, which if I recall correctly, was one on classical music used in animation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-71714556482795053832009-10-19T14:48:51.299-07:002009-10-19T14:48:51.299-07:00Tears are rolling down my face as I am typing this...Tears are rolling down my face as I am typing this.

Mr. Bayside and I reflected much on the loveliness of the man we knew – his humor, optimism and ever brisk mind -- and rueful on what we had yet to know of him -- such depth of character and accomplishment, a heart as a mansion with room for both great and small.Deborah on the Baysidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-48412019502490944842009-10-19T13:06:22.706-07:002009-10-19T13:06:22.706-07:00You will be together again in the presence of God ...You will be together again in the presence of God Himself.
