Randys World

Finding our way

Todays world confuses me. I see my country being sold down the river by politicians that care only for their own good, not the good of this Nation. I see people forgeting what happened on 9-11-01 some even thinking that our own leaders are at fault. I think its time the ordinary people stand up and speak , perhaps its time that we act, to retrieve our country, and our way of life, before its to late.... I am hoping to find more of these peole out here because its about time ,before we are out of time..... randja

HERBERT REMINDER

Hi world, Hello family,
Today our part of the planet is one soul lighter, Herbie Reminder died early this afternoon. Most of the world will not mourn his passing or his life. But I will. He was My moms friend, her project, an old boyfriend of hers.
Herbie was a pain in the ass, and Herbie was fun to pick on, and Herbie made a mess of his life, and during the course of it lost everything that mattered. But he was also family of Ours, as much as we might at times want to deny it. At times you wanted him to go away, and you felt some sorrow at the mess he made of the life he had. Herbie had a family once, a wife, two sons, plenty of money, a nice home. Alcohol took most of it away. A life time of abuse, mostly I think to mask the pain from a severe back injury, and then maybe just a mask. Herbie loved to hunt, to smoke his Pall Malls, and gamble. He was a man of many vices, but he was also a man that could be generous and kind, sometimes even funny.
My Mom took care of Herbie to his end, even though he spent alot of time making her mad, or hurting her feelings. But somewhere deep I think she loved the little guy, hell I did too...
But today she can put aside that help and he can see once again , I hope, his son that preceeded him in death and a mother he idolized. I hope and believe God has Herb now in a better place, that he has been freed of his pain and addictions and finally he is at peace....
