Spreading a little light and love | Filed under General
Most of you know I have a love for my friends and a love of life. I share both of these with a very special friend that I would like to introduce to you today. Yesterday a post was dedicated to me and was all about me at my friend Monica’s so keeping with that I would like to pass it forward. From time to time you have seen me tease here just as I did yesterday with Walker who says I have the biggest heart in the world which is why I agreed to go to bed with him. The big question was how far did we go……even bigger question is how does one go to bed with another when one lives in Georgia and one lives in Canada? Just take the laptop or the phone to bed with you and keep on talking to each other. Yes it will work everytime. By the way Walker, thanks for asking Monica to go to bed with you on Tuesday just a few day after taking me to bed with you and on the same day you said I really knew how to warm you up. You really were good for my self esteem here Walker. Gee Whiz, I guess I will be back to never mind about that right now let me get back to the post I started here before I got side tracked.
Today is all about my special friend Randy, RD as you see him comment on here. Randy is special for he inspires me with the love he has for his wife, Kerry. He and Kerry have been married for many years in which she has had Huntington’s Disease. This is a familial disease, passed from parent to child through a mutation in the normal gene. Today Randy and his very special wife Kerry travel to Washington University, Huntington’s Center of Excellence to seek out help to allow or seek information if there is any to assist in providing for quality in her life for the local neurologist are very shallow in what they are offering.
To give you a glimpse into this special friend of mine here is an interview he took part in when he first started a blog.
1. You write quite a bit on politics and current events. What political figure…past or current…do you admire the most? Why?
There are many, but if it fits your criteria, how about Robert E. Lee. A lesser man would have emerged from Appomattox hated and beaten, yet he remains one of the most respected and revered figures in our history. I even want my enemies to love me!
2. Where is somewhere that you’ve never ridden your Harley that you would love to ride? Why?
New Zealand. The H.O.G. magazine published pictures from a recent organized ride there and the vistas were breathtaking and the conditions were perfect. It would be an incredible experience.
3. What have you done that makes you the proudest?
Beside parenting a wonderful son, I’d have to say being there for my family. I’ve been blessed.
4. What are the things about your wife that made you fall in love with her in the first place?
It was love at first sight. The smile, the twinkle in her eye, her capacity to love life. We were kindred spirits from our first moments together. She’s an angel.
5. What did you learn from your parents that you want to pass down to your kids?
You write your own ticket. Those were dad’s words. We are responsible for our actions and accountable for our decisions.
The blog Randy maintains today is for his Riding Group and he does not have maintain a personal blog so I ask that you leave special wishes for Randy here or e-mail them so I can collect them and send them to Randy and his very special KerBear (Kerry). These are two very special people to me. I have been so blessed to have Randy in my life as my friend. So please as my friends share a little today, remember how much you have, give a little. Randy you and Kerry are in my thoughts so often and you know my feelings. Few marriages are made of the love yours is I bow to you my friend. Thank you for being in my life and sharing the sunshine as you do. I hope I have shared a little with you today. Be safe and remember no matter what you have friends who will be here to support you and offer you love as you have them. Now don’t forget leave me a special comment for Randy or e-mail it so I can send it in a special card to Randy and Kerry.

I have heard Vickie rave about Randy and his never-ending support, laughter, and friendship love. Anyone that is special to Vickie is special to me and I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of the person I’ve heard about. May Randy and Kerry have many more years to live and love. Not everyone appreciates the love of their life and it’s refreshing to hear it.

Many prayers and positive vibes to Randy and Kerry; I pray that your trip to Washington University provides you with a treatment plan that works towards defeating the terrible disease that has afflicted you.

Prayers to Randy and Kerry.
Now, Vickie, I think Walker only said that to get me to shut up cause I was acting like a MOM with him about eating and being sick.

It was great talking to you and could spend hours doing so.
You may even get a word in one day.:lol:
And you do have the biggest heart in the world
Now Monica has already had me on the couch, chair and stairs so she’s working her way around my house but I won’t start worrying until she tells me to have dinner ready by 6.
Some of the best conversations are done in the bedroom while laying down and relaxed with your partner.

what wonderful friends you have in Randy and Kerry Ms Vicki! My prayers are with them both as they make their trip and plan for their future. Hugs my friend

Vicki,
It is so nice to see the chat line support group you seem to be starting! You really are a special lady. I know you must have had a real interesting chat with Walker. He is a nice guy and I am glad he feels he can chat easily with you.

UPDATE: Our trip to the big city went well. It’s about a two hour car ride each way and Kerry had a little trouble staying comfortable. But it was worth the effort. We feel we’ve been doing mostly what can be done, but the doctor wants to adjust the meds a bit. It was nice to have a doctor give us some direction rather than the other way around. KerBear was one pooped puppy when we got home and had a good nights sleep. Thanks Vickie, for asking for everyone’s thoughts and prayers.

I’m glad to hear making the trip was worth effort, and I will continue to pray for this nice couple.
Ms. Vickie, you never seem to amaze me with your love for all people. You’re one in a million, and don’t you ever forget it. ((HUGS))

Vickie, in case the two phone calls to your house, and the call to your cell phone and the text message doesn’t clue you in, I’m thinking about you today. Prayers and warm thoughts, friend.
April 6th, 2006 at 8:25 pm
Miss Vickie, please pass this on to Randy and his wonderful wife Kerry.
May god bless you and keep you and may goddess always been the wind in your hair. You are loved by many. Even those you don’t know. Lots of positive healing energy is headed your way.
