Aloha,
At soon to be 62 years of age, thoughts occasionally rear their head and are impossibly uncomfortable.
Justifiably they should not be forgotten.
Unfortunately our precious elusive moments of time become the irretrievable past.
It became crystal clear:
The things I have done that I regret pale in comparison to the things that I did not do that I regret.
The only solace I can find is forgiveness which prevents me from remaining there in a prison or a Groundhogs Day movie. Forgiveness enables us to move above and beyond, learn and grow.
Luke 23:34
And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them , for they know not what they do.”
I thank our loving creator for beautiful people like Ryan, the amazing music HE endowed that Ryan shared with us, and the hope and the promise that ALL WILL BE RESTORED IN HIS PERFECT WILL AND INTENTION.
Our yearning and dissatisfaction is confirmation.
Looking forward to giving You a BIG HUG Ryan and playing some music. Please forgive me.
Loving and missing You<3

It’s a Long Way Home
Johnny Hallyday
The night is closing down
On every street in town
And I look for your face
As I leave every place
Wish you were still around
I sing them one last song
Somehow it sounds all wrong
'Cause you're not there with me
In the harmony
Where you used to be
Oh, it's a long way home
It's a long way home
In the night alone
When your songs are all gone
And your life runs no
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
I'll ask you how you've been
When we meet again
And all the wilderness
Between that time and this
Will vanish as we kiss
Oh, it's a long way home
It's a long way home
In the night alone
When your songs are all gone
And your life runs no
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
You are the only one
Who can feel all the miles
I've gone on my way back home
Oh, it's a long way…
