Tuesday, after posting about my friend'sing death in the wee hours, I had acall from a new friend.
He is a bit of an oddity in my life.
He popped up last year with the statement,
"You need me ..."
Well, I am not superstitious or anything,
But an open line like that needs investigation!
So, his background is amazingly like mine ....
Mining background,
Hunter
Christian missionary,
etc ....
Ans recovering from a very near death situation!
So, cautiously, I agreed to get to know him.
Wary in case it was some sort of con,
Obedient, just in case this was a God thing ...
So, I told him about Paul and his death.
We then talked for hours about Paul.
Very subtle.
Guiding me through memories.
Some happy,
Some crazy,
Some bittersweet,
Some painful.
I guess just like a real family.
His wife and daughters have been calling every single day.
His grandchildren as well.
Everyone is quite lost in his absence.
It seems a hierarchy is appearing,
Where I am family elder,
Trailing behind him!
Never would have guessed that,
But, that seems to be my new role. in the family.
Interesting.
And my three Russian nieces and nephew,
As well as my Bulgarian nephew,
Suddenly are far more chatty,
And I have been stung bu one, "Gramps" from the college age one!
