"If I Could Be Where You Are"<br /> Lyrics written by Roma Ryan<br /> ---<br /> Where are you this moment<br /> Only in my dreams<br /> You're missing, but you're always<br /> a heartbeat from me.<br /> <br /> I'm lost now without you.<br /> I don't know where you are.<br /> I keep watching,<br /> I keep hoping,<br /> but time keeps us apart.<br /> <br /> [chorus]<br /> Is there a way I can find you?<br /> Is there a sign I should know?<br /> Is there a road I could follow,<br /> to bring you back home?<br /> <br /> Winter lies before me,<br /> Now you're so far away<br /> In the darkness of my dreaming<br /> The light of you will stay<br /> <br /> If I could be close beside you,<br /> If I could be where you are,<br /> If I could reach out and touch you,<br /> And bring you back home.<br /> <br /> [chorus]<br /> Is there a way I can find you?<br /> Is there a sign I should know?<br /> Is there a road I could follow,<br /> to bring you back home?<br /> <br /> To me...</center>

<span style="color: #993399; font-family: comic sans ms; font-size: large;">Seems as though we have our own little community going here on Multiply and the beauty of it is that miles don't matter (well, until you want to get a real hug from your friend again.) Anyone that is blessed enough to know Cherie knows everything I am about to tell you... and anyone that doesn't know her needs to drop by and wish her Happy Birthday and get her in your life... it will be a day that you will always be thankful for!!!! I know!!!!</span></div>

His head was slumped over, as he was sleeping <br> as well. I couldn't help but wonder about him. He looked like a nice person. <br>What had his life's work been? Did he have a family... what happy memories <br>mingled in his thoughts? I hoped there were many. Nurses and aides passed <br>by him without a glance. How I prayed he had family who came to visit him. <br>Many times I would walk down the hall to stretch my legs and see bedridden <br>patients lying in their bed for hours in the same position. Had they been <br>changed... talked to.... touched... comforted? I know I had often changed Mama <br>myself when no one would come in. My sister and brother-in-law one would <br>always be there at lunch to help her eat when I was not visiting. They have done <br>this everyday for months with so much love. What did these other people do? <br>Were they just forgotten? Did they only have love in their memories?<br><br> Nursing Homes, I am sure are understaffed as are many hospitals, but <br>I know first hand from nursing how big of a difference a nurse who cares <br>makes even when she is over worked and can not do everything she wants <br>to get done. It is not like there is a lot of money to be made working in a <br>Nursing Home so it seems like to me if you get a job there it should be <br>because you care and want to help. A touch or some kind words are just as <br>important as the changing and feeding... We all need these things.<br><br> I am so thankful Mama is home now... surrounded by familiar things. She <br>has people who love her and care for her. She came home on Hospice this<br>week. Her baby, Sassy (her little poodle) lays right by her side... <br>you should see the smile this makes. I took a Family Medical Leave to <br>come help care for her here in Florida. I am so happy to be with her.<br><br> In the time she sleeps, I have a lot of time for thinking. The wonderful <br>people in my life (and who have been in my life) have come to mind every <br>day. Many of those thoughts are of my friends on line. Those I have meant <br>in person and those I would love to meet.<br><br> This is a big reminder what life is all about. It is all about love <br>(those we love and who love us) and caring (caring about others <br>and them caring about us).<br><br>Love is what God blessed us with... <br>We need to reach out, embrace and share this love....<br><br><br><br><br></font> </center></center><center><object width="212" height="172"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yNKhIJfB510?fs=1&hl=en_US&fs&autoplay=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed allowscriptaccess="never" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yNKhIJfB510?fs=1&hl=en_US&fs&autoplay=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="212" height="172"></object> </center><br><br><br> <div></div>Linda_ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11407834596930048543noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974811276216999600.post-5457237841377889822010-08-21T17:44:00.000-05:002012-09-14T04:49:03.148-05:00I just finished watching the movie "Invictus".......

<span style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">Was looking up the correct title and author of a book this morning and came across this video of the author speaking.... I immediately thought of all my friend Cherie and our other creative friends here who are such good writers, singers, photographers, artist.... and wanted to share it. Yes. the video is a little over 19 minutes so I realize it would take someone very serious in their creative genius to take the time to listen.... and someone very interested in their creative genus is just the reason I posted it... If just one creative person (writer, singer, artist, etc.) reads and takes something with them, I will be happy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000066; font-size: small;">To anyone who has stopped... "Good Day" I hope the day is or has been a pleasant one for you!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://lindao6.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/1680"><img border="0" class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.lindao6.multiply.com/image/3bBNtfMH8qV-7vsysWAHVQ/photos/1M/300x300/1680/2339095330054967390ZLmLWm-fs.jpg?et=5RSWZ7E3Es1vt6ZF6R%2BnJA&nmid=0" /></a></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span class="insertedphoto"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />One step in the door and it was like being home. Had I not known these people all my life???? Sure seemed like I have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This comes as no surprise to many of you I am sure. You have traveled distances to meet your on line friends to find with the first smile, the first great hug, this was not a new friend but a friend whom you had already given a large part of your heart. It seems like this continues to happen with each friend I meet in person. They are special on line. When you meet you find they are even more special. I find myself so comfortable... it seems as though we have been together for years and it is very easy to talk with them (a few might wish I weren't as comfortable and wouldn't talk quite as much)<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/smile.png" /> It is great to listen too... to hear their voice and to learn even more about them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been noticed, I am sure.... these people are here for you in times of stress and sorrow as well as happy and fun times. Here.... ready to love and let you know you are not alone. They can bring a smile to your heart and laughter to your lips when you think you have neither left in you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you had told me some years back I would have a family spread all over the world... I might have thought you were somewhat delusional. What little I knew!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How I pray I can be the kind of friend to each of you others have been to me here.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have a great Multiply Family... My Family here is starting to see the love and wonder of my Multiply Family. (There was a time when they thought anyone you met from the internet only had mugging or murder on their mind in person).<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/confused.png" /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Could anyone ask for more??? I don't think so.... I think you all are the greatest... It makes me happy to see you interact lovingly with each other.... to laugh freely... to bring out the best in each other. The feeling which the love and friendship brings is indescribable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each of you have been so kind to me even when I hid out... thank you and after spending the last weekend with several of our Multiply Family.... I came away feeling more sure of how blessed we all are to have each other. How I love you and pray for much love and happiness for each of you... Thank you for being there and thanks for being you!!!</span></div>

Sometimes I think I operate that way - afraid to err <br> and slow to forgive.<br><br> Of course, we've all heard Alexander Pope's famous assertion that to <br> err is human, to forgive, divine. But I don't agree. I think that to <br> forgive is one of the most human things we can do.<br><br> A number of years ago, Hildegard Goss-Mayr of the "<span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;cursor: pointer;-moz-background-clip: border;-moz-background-origin: padding;-moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275442100_3">International </span><br><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;cursor: pointer;-moz-background-clip: border;-moz-background-origin: padding;-moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275442100_3"> Fellowship of Reconciliation</span>" told this true story. In the midst of <br> tragic fighting in Lebanon in the 1970s, a Christian seminary <br> student was walking from one village to the next when he was <br> ambushed by an armed <span style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136);cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1275442100_4">Druze</span> guerrilla fighter. The Druze ordered his <br> captive down a mountain trail where he was to be shot.<br><br> But an amazing thing happened. The seminarian, who had received <br> military training, was able to surprise his captor and disarm him. <br> Now, the table was turned, and it was the Druze who was ordered down <br> the trail.<br><br> As they walked, however, the student of theology began to reflect on <br> what was happening. Recalling the words of his scripture, "Love your <br> enemies," "do good to those who hate you," "turn the other cheek," <br> he found he could go no farther. He threw the gun into the bushes, <br> told the Druze he was free to go and turned back up the hill.<br><br> Minutes later, he heard footsteps running behind him as he walked. <br> "Is this the end after all?" he wondered. Perhaps the young man had <br> retrieved his weapon and meant to finish him off. But he continued <br> on, never glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab <br> him in an embrace and pour out thanks for sparing his life.<br><br> That was a very human thing he did - foregoing the impulse to strike <br> back. It took a strong spirit. Yet every time we decide not to get <br> back at somebody who hurts us, we exercise one of our greatest <br> powers - the power to choose a better way.<br><br> Somebody else put it better than I can: "Life is too short for drama <br> and petty things, so, kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and <br> forgive quickly." It's one of the most powerful and human things to <br> do.<br><br> ~Steve Goodier<br>~Your Life Support<br></font>

people on Multiply. Do not admit to anyone who the things pertain to. Feel free to comment, but do not confirm or answer who people think you are talking about. Ok, so here is my list…the things I would say to 10 different people on my contact list….</span></font><br><br><br><br><br>1. So many things I admire about you... but putting good looks, talent, faith on the <br> back burner (I know you shouldn't do that with faith)... your heart is amazing.. <br> and I think I love it the best. You are loved by so many who truly count!<br><br> 2. I know that happiness belongs to you as you spread so much of it around. <br> You are so busy and bubbly... bouncing around Multiply making others smile <br> and bringing joy to their world,... I think you will take the love from the past into<br> your future and it will be full of happiness and love.<br><br> 3. You are a lovely Lady.... beautiful both inside and out! One I would love to spend <br> some time with... there is no doubt in my mind you could turn any house into a warm<br> loving home!<br><br> 4. You are the special one... to so many... you are always there for them... with an ear... with a <br> smile. I know I am not alone when I say I love you.... one of these days we will meet and I <br> have a hug with your name on it!<br><br> 5. You have a gift that I wanted all my life... and what a blessing it is to all of us you share it <br> with us (not nearly enough... lol .... okay, we get a little greedy but how wonderful it is). <br> And I am sure others know... as I have found out that you have a heart as large as that<br> talent! (Don't worry... I haven't let lack of talent stop me... I still do it in the car, the shower, <br> and behind the lawn mower..... yes, have less neighbors then I use too)<br><br> 6. What an amazing and beautiful woman you are.... The very first time I came to your <br> page... I liked you... knew you were a special person. What a wonderful family... what<br> a beautiful and neat world you live in... I am so glad we connected and hope we always <br> are... and even with the distance I hope one day we meet in person!<br><br> 7. Your happiness is so well deserved! I am so glad you have shared it... it is so wonderful<br> to hear! You are a talented and wonderful woman... he is a lucky man... lol... okay...<br> you are a lucky woman too. Much happiness to you both always!<br><br> 8. You don't even know it but you have made me smile over the last few months... you are a<br> mess... so funny.... and yet so kind.... Sometimes I don't think you want others to know you<br> are a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1274887556_6">big teddy bear</span>!<br><br> 9. If I were to be stranded on an Island, in the desert, anywhere... I would want the two of you <br> there ..... always... you are the dearest and the best people and I have no doubt we will <br> always be friends!<br><br>10. We don't know each other very well.... okay...not really at all but you are in my prayers and<br> thoughts so much. The thing I want you most to know is you are never alone.<br><br>I want more numbers!!!!

But why <br /> should we? We're each cut from a unique pattern.<br /><br /><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1271109119_11">Dick Van Dyke</span> once told the story of a woman taking her nephew to <br /> her Catholic church. She whispered to him as they approached the <br /> pew: "Can you genuflect?"<br /><br /> "No," he said, "but I can somersault!"<br /><br /> I wonder if he showed her.right then and there. I can almost see him <br /> rolling down the aisle in a joyous celebration of the thing he CAN <br /> do, with no regard for genuflecting. the thing he cannot do.<br /><br /> Some people waste lives obsessing on that thing they cannot do, <br /> wishing they were more competent. And some measure the value of <br /> their abilities against those of others, wishing they could <br /> contribute in a bigger and better way.<br /><br /> You and I may never be a Mozart, a Raphael or a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1271109119_12" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;">John Keats</span>.

<span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://lindao6.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/1222"><img border="0" class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.lindao6.multiply.com/image/kqtiffyQ7hfBM-kUrGjJ9g/photos/1M/300x300/1222/100-6659.jpg?et=nyC2yhoPfuWjIsjxBVG0pA&nmid=0" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I received this email yesterday from John's sister and best friend Judi:<br />
<br />
Would you please tell John's friends on Facebook and Multiply (and other places he might have) what their messages have meet to me and my mom. I don't have the words to thank them all and tell them how sorry I'm for their loss too.<br />
<br />
<br />
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BROTHER AND BEST PAL<br />
<br />
<br />
REMEMBER HIM AS THE WAY HE WAS NOT AS HE IS TODAY.<br />
<br />
REMEMBER HIM AS THE MAN WHO LOVED THE OUTDOORS AND NATURE AT HER BEST.<br />
<br />
REMEMBER HIS SPIRIT AS A FREE FLOWING RIVER, A WIND THROUGH TIME OVER THE HILLS HE LOVED TO EXPLORE.<br />
<br />
WE ALL LOSE EACH OTHER BUT NOT IN OUR MEMORIES AND HEARTS.<br />
<br />
REMEMBER HIM AS ONE WHO LOVED YOU ALL IN ALL THE IMPORTANT WAYS.<br />
<br />
REMEMBER HIM WITH A SMILE AND DO NOT GRIEVE TOO LONG<br />
FOR HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.<br />
<br />
JUDI OLIVERIA 2/6/10<br />
<br />
TO ALL OF YOU WHO CARED ENOUGH TO WRITE ON MY BROTHERS WALL AND SPACE<br />
<br />
MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION<br />
MAY YOU ALL BE SAFE AND WELL<br />
JOHN'S SISTER JUDI <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="insertedphoto"><span style="font-size: large;">It's rolled around again.... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="insertedphoto"><span style="font-size: large;">Our Gator is another year young!!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="insertedphoto"><span style="font-size: large;">And just where might we find him????</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span class="insertedphoto"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well you might find him in the swamp....</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/?action=view&current=CrochetAlligatorAtComputer_text.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/CrochetAlligatorAtComputer_text.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He may be sitting at his computer...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />We know for a fact from the past...<br />Where ever you have been able to find him...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/?action=view&current=thethreeamigos.gif" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/thethreeamigos.gif" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There were friends around him...<br /> because our Gator is loved!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/?action=view&current=1233.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/1233.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />These days it is no different....<br />You will find him hanging out with friends</span>,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/?action=view&current=2934050390040326394bIgSJK_ph.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/2934050390040326394bIgSJK_ph.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Or trying to rescue them...<br /><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of friends around him... <br />some bring music to his life...</span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/?action=view&current=flamingoornament-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/flamingoornament-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some look pretty and smile...<br />(They write good too!)</span><br />
<br /></div>
<a href="http://s472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/LindaO_album/animals/?action=view&current=img8.gif" target="_blank"></a><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Others are good guys like our gator...<br />(and are on their way to playing a mean guitar).<br />And nearly just as cute...<br />even when you can't figure out what they are up too.<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">This picture which was done for Image & Words describes best how I feel about John.</span></center>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I don't need to tell anyone how giving, kind, humorous, intelligent and loving he was... each one of you know. </span></center>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">and vision blurred,</span></center>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">and close at hand,</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">What is most precious to us</span></center>
