It is FINISHED!!!

I am thinking that I will follow this post in a couple days......with additional thoughts and feelings, and perhaps a picture or two if your camera is co-operating again.
I have been thinking about this day for a long time. I am numb with happiness and my mind of course is kind of boggled. It's not that I am having a blank moment,.... it's that I have so many thoughts and feelings rocketing around in my head, I can't sort them into a reasonable train of thought. There is so much I want to say, but lacking the skill with words that Uncle Norm has, I often wonder if you will be able to get anything at all out of these words. They have really after all, been written for you. Perhaps all you have to glean from it is that I love and respect you. I am proud of you. You are everything and more than I hoped you would be. You have put yourself through the fire. In a small way, mentally, I have gone with you all the way. I was with you each and every night as I knelt in prayer asking our Father in Heaven for your safety and happiness. I know that you remained safe, though you suffered many pains and injuries. I think that you may have endured much lonliness and were tried to the max. You never gave up. I hope that will be the thought you will carry with you forever more. I hope just the knowledge of who you are and what you did will carry you through the future with the deep conviction that come what may.....you will always have what it takes to do what ever you need to do.
I pray also that you will know how many people have been uplifted by your courage and determination. You have been an inspiration to me. I love you bunny.

Forgot to tell my blog how you notified me today that your journey was completed.......two words.........

the beach!!!!!

BARNEY the BUFFALO

I would have put this in the correct time line, but since you just posted it recently, I am going to just tuck it in here before the conclusion of this blog. This picture is titled Barney the Buffalo. I laughed when I saw this. It's both funny and sad at the same time to me. This majestic fellow is just strolling along the highway

as though it's perfectly natural to be following you along as you make your way through Yellowstone. I can tell you Jed, that this guy is my most favorite character that you have met along the way on this journey of yours. The sadness is that he has become a tourist attraction, and I hope, (but wonder) if those who see him look at the beautiful creature that he is or if they just think he is there for their entertainment. I like to think of him without seeing all the people gawking out their windows at him.

Still, I am glad he prevails even with all the fluff around him. Kudos Barney!

YaTaHey!
