BUCKET LIST, rent it ,buy it,you wont regret it
My son rented the movie Bucket List, he watched it twice in the last 48hrs insisting I joim him for the second viewing. Mind you I have had a few to drink prior to writing this journal and please bear with me. I have no intention of dieing in the near future, yet after this film, my mind is clear on certain aspects of dieing, or should I say predeath. I lost a grandfather to cancer and the other granfather to emphysema. I know not what the Lord has planned for my demise and yet I'm very sure it will be swift and painless. I see myself going down in a blaze of glory. And before that time approaches,*which I hope is a long time from this moment* I need to get this down and here and copied for my lock box. I make no apologies for the life I have lived and am living, I have few regrets concerning decisions I have made, as I have lived with those decisions and their implications. I want to give thanx to the the Almighty for the parents who have raised me, Mom for her nurturing and steadfast love for my father. Dad for believing in me and teaching me what a father is. I also want to thank my wife Lisa, from the bottom of my heart, she has given me reasons to continue to grow and to live love and laugh. She also has given me a family, two very wonderful stepsons and our own precious son. Randall amazes me more each and every day, at 14 he makes more sense and is more wellrounded than his father was at 21 maybe more than even now. My daughter Kara, I love you sweetheart and I wish for things to be closer between us and I pray that I do not have to wait to my dieng days for this to happen, and bless Kara's mom as well, for she has raised this girl without much help from me. My best friends Dave and Doug, Dave, how can I ever thank you enough for keeping me steady when my life was the darkest and trusting me with out ever putting a price on that trust. Doug, in 47 years I have known you 43 and shared clothes and shoes during the sixties, beer and babes throughout the eighties, gratification and prosperity in the nineties death and destuction In the past 8yrs, you have,are,and always will be loyal to me without question. My friends at DS, there is no way I would be here if not for the outpouring of friendship, care and advice and love that I have received from you all.. Awoyenni, Steph,Cb,Patronrebel,Raven,Flutter,K7 Asterisk,MCcar,Beybey,Missingfriend,Gzus,Fiesty,Darlap,Comet,ABC,kel,chelsea,Melly,Jack750,Stacimo,Starbellyand tryingtofigure it out. You all have played an important part in my resurrrection, yes I was dead for a while, and some how with all of you and my close friends and family here at home I have another chance. There are so many others that I need to pay thanx to that are my friends yet may not be on this journal entry,Medic, Maddiesdad, RS the list will grow Im sure. Thanz you all, I know if I were reading this Id be sayin to myself what the heck did I ever do to get thanx, well rest assured if we ever talked through DS, argued,bantered or yes even if we flirted. A few lines of type can make a difference in a day, and that day a week, month, year or a lifetime. Many of my friends I will never physically see, spiritually I feel you have walked at my side when I needed the shoulder to lean on, I hope and pray in some way I have been there for you also. So this morn I begin my bucket list and in the words of the song at the end of the movie "Say what you mean to say" Randy's bucket list 1. tell my friends I love em check nothing is wrong, no worries, just a very strong moving movie and it has impacted me greatly 2. own a Harley 3. See in person as many of these friends listed above, if humanly possible 3.a If I miss you in this life Ill see you in the next I promise
