A friend of mine died this week.  He was a great man, a great husband, a great father, a great friend, and a great leader in Davenport, Iowa.  His activity in politics over the years led him to the position of Mayor a few years ago.  I didn't always agree with him, but always respected his position and viewpoints. 

    Charlie Brooke had been battling cancer for several years.  He never gave up.  In spite of his pain and suffering, he continued to serve in many capacities in our community.

The full obituary can be found at Quad-City Times.

May you rest in peace, Charlie!

We never know the time or place...............so

Don't Forget to Say Your Prayers!

My wife has told me before that I should go have a hearing test.

But should I be expected to hear her when she's two rooms away?

She has also told me that I sometimes don't listen as good as I should.

However, when I'm focused on my blog and she's walking away from me in the other room does that count?

Last week she had a phone call and I had to take a message for her.

Here it is:

My hearing test with Audiology Consultants is this Wednesday!!!

Lucky :)

The answer is one word is......Plenty!!!

     Anyone who has pets will really like this.  You'll like it even if you don't and you may even decide you need one (or two like me)!

    Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.'  (It's true, some people actually name their pets after me :))  Lucky (the dog) was a real character.  Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy.  Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.

    Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys.  Lucky always stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box.

    It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer.  Something told her she was going to die of this disease....in fact, she was just sure it was fatal.  She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders.

    The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky.  A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky?  Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought.  He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him.  The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.

     The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks.  Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.

      Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital.  When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom.  Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.

      Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called.  It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.

When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong.  She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot.  But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!  While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life.  He had covered her with his love.

       Mary forgot about dying.  Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day.

      It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free.  Lucky?  He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

       Remember....live every day to the fullest.  And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.  They are the ones who care for us.

Lucky :)
