Stay in touch

The blog has been around for what, seventeen years now? Sometimes I wonder about the old regulars that have drifted off, do you ever still come back to check in or lurk around maybe, without commenting? 

People like KJ, Grumpy, Window Dancer, Randy Walters, MMWB, or the old guy up in Oregon maybe, among others? You guys still around?

Would be nice to now that you are still alive. The guy in Oregon was old, he probably passed. You never know. I am getting to that point in my life where a lot of people in my contact list are no longer with us.

 Can't bear to erase their names from my phone.

I had heard that some people had passed in town recently and found my way to the Village News obit page. I don't often read the local paper and was astounded to read that Dick Schillig had passed. Liked him a lot, great sense of humor. His ex catered our wedding.

Just heard about Fred Caso's passing from his daughter.

Paul Garrett has gone into the good night too. All fine people who contributed to our community and will be greatly missed.

But if you don't see it or hear about it, you assume everything is copacetic with people.

When they are gone, they are gone. Keep them in your hearts. And stay in touch.
