Good morning. The sun is shining on the water, and birds are greeting one another with their calls.

Coffee is made. Pull up a rock and have some with me.

Don't mind if I do. Woke up way too early this morning, but I'm just now getting around to coffee.

In Feb pf this year when I was spending the night with her, I was unable to move in the morning. Quick trip to the ER and it was found both legs and most of my ribs had broken. I had very advanced bone cancer, I was immediately hospitalized in the same room with my wife.


We were beyond treatment. The VA placed us in Hospice Care at Viking Manor Nursing Home in Ulen MN. My wife left this Dunyah at Ifthar time on Friday the 10th day of Ramadan (9:00 PM May 25, 2018)


I am biding my final days here. I am treated very well and have a computer. I receive no treatment except for pain control. I have opted to spend my final days here. With the aid of a wheelchair I have considerable mobility and even make short trips (up to a mile) outdoors.



I still enjoy sunrises and sunsets and worship to the best of my ability. The days are still good.

It is good to be here among my brothers and sisters but I am saddened by the news that comes from my brother Woodrow and it saddens me to read this particular post from him. I know that there will come a time when we all must make that journey to the other side. It is a journey that when my time comes I look forward to, but not just yet, for I have many stories to tell and lessons to learn. It is with a heavy heart that I know that my brother Woodrow plans on making that journey in the very near future but at the same time I am happy for him because I know he will be greeted on the other side by his wife and friends and relatives, he will be sitting among his ancestors and I'm sure that there will be many stories to tell. To my brother Woodrow may your journey be very beautiful and pleasant and when my day comes I look forward to seeing you alongside the stream with a fishing pole in your hand. May the Creator watch over you on your journey. You will be missed but your words and wisdom will live on in those you leave behind, safe journeys my brother.Osaiy

I am the same way. I love to be all alone in some nature setting. I can almost feel the serenity and harmony of Mother Earth come into me. My mind and soul begin to be freed of the turmoil and conflicts of this world.



I found this at an antique market. It's called Faith of My Fathers". It refers to the Native American Church.

Wa-do my Friend/Brother,


Your words and wisdom continue to be welcome. I assure you that the shorter my journey becomes, the less fearful it is. As the remaining time lessens, joy increases. When your time comes to walk this path---keep your eye-open for the coffee pot. I will keep a fresh pot on the fire. We have many stories left to share.


I discourage posting personal identifying information. But if any one desires to send an old man a note:

I am saddened for your pain and hope it is well-controlled, brother. I have no fear as I approach the inevitable with you, my friend. Our actions in Nam may be troubling as we contemplate accounting for them, but the God I encountered removed any basis for fear, my brother. I realize we walk different paths under different beliefs, but I wanted to provide my certainty for you to consider. I expect we will have a lot to talk about on the other side. Focus on reuniting with the love in your life, Wood, the joy is indescribable!

Emphasis is all on pain control and so far it has been very successful. I am qute comfortable with full mental capacity (at least at my normal level--which never was high). I doubt I could get better care anyplace. I'm still enjoying life and can not praise my direct care folks enough--they are great.
