Reflection Of 2011

Each Year I Try To Reflect On Things That Happened That I Consider Noteworthy. In No Particular Order And If I Miss Something, Please Forgive Me. Some May Be Sad While Others Could Be Funny. Bear With Me. If You Get Bored Move On To The Next Blog.
My Year Didn't Start Off Too Well. I Was In The Process Of Writing An Obituary For My Son. Bobby Passed Away On The 29th Of December. We Laid Him To Rest At St Peter & Paul Cemetery In Westville On Saturday January 8th.
My Fathers Brother Passed Away On February 10Th. My Uncle Fred Miller, A Man I Hardly Knew. Miles Separated Us Through My Lifetime Preventing Me From Actually Getting To Know Him Well. A Man Of God Who Married My Parents Back In 1952.
Back In March I Decided To Cover My Thirty Some Year Old Tattoo's. One Was A Cover Up Memorial To My Son Bobby. The Other Was A Cover Up With Something I Am Most Interested In Today. Bowling, What Else?
Back in July My Brother Tuck Was The Only One Dressed Like A Red Neck. Being One Of The Baseball Stadium Announcers, They Have "Special" Nights. This Night In Particular Was To Dress Up Red Neck Style. He Was Dressed Out Well. Now If Others Participated It May Have Been A Fun Night For Him And Others. If There Was A Lesson To Be Learned That Night, Let Others Know It's Ok To Be Able To Laugh At Yourself.
On October 18th I Lost A Friend. My Friend Barnee, Who Just So Happened To Be My Brother's Dog, Had To Be Put To Sleep. He Was A Good And Faithful Dog.
Cassie Came Into My Life. She Is A Pug And I Believe She's A Match Made From Heaven. By That I Mean I Feel That Bobby Paired Us Together. She Is So Sweet And Lovable.
The Robin Hood Foundation Blanket Drive Was Another Success. About 300 Beds Will Be Warmer This Winter.
The Upcoming Year Of 2012 Is Viewed By Me As A Fresh New Year With Hopefully Good Things To Come. I Have Often Heard That Change Is Good. I Hope This Is True. My Mission In Helping The Poor May Change In Some Ways. When You Are Use To Doing Things A Certain Way For So Many Years, Change Can Be Difficult.
My Commitment In My Mission Is True. I Will Continue To Give Of Myself So Others Can Have A Better Life. If I Do Things Differently Than In Years Past, So Be It. I Have God On My Side And I Have The Faith He Will Guide The Way.
My Hopes Are High For This New Coming Year. I Say Bring It On!
