I agree. I've been contemplating how this could best occur while. I think you've hit on a good Idea.

Yesterday was my most melancholic, regretful day in a long long time. I really felt I have lost a family member I loved dearly. And I did. We have global families far removed from from each other physically but none the less sharing the parts of ourselves that matter greatly to us. I think Flow has shown us we need to put a little effort into realising that a way to stay in touch is important. I never believed Flow had gone. And I am a little upset that I never picked up on the cues he gave to his illness. I can understand someone not wanting to share the news of their own imminent departure, I would not. But we should be able to devise a way to keep each other informed. I have now included my screen name, password and instructions to post notification of my death here, on my will. I only hope such a post is several decades off!!

When I get an email informing me of a response to a post, I always check the name, it sets me up for what's to follow ...

... Oh, Flow ...

Your posts were always a delight. Always challenging, always considered, always considerate, and always signed with a smile one knew was genuine, it was warm.

This is why I post here, Flow, you made me think, you opened my eyes to other things ... we will all miss your words, your wisdom and your warmth.

Eternal rest grant unto Flowperson, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest in peace.

Amen.

Peace Out, Flow. Rest easy in the Earth. See you in the soil, the sky, the worms, and the birds. You're coming back around all the time.

Keep on Flowin'

I had feared the worst when he had been silent so long. Will, like many, so miss his presence here. Flow, if they've got WiFi on the Other Side, perhaps you could still drop us a line. earl

Flow, you will be missed, my friend. My hopes that you are in a place of peace and free of pain and reunited with the ones you love.

For flowperson:

Done Too Soon by Neil Diamond

Jesus christ, fanny brice,
Wolfie mozart and humphrey bogart and
Genghis khan and
On to h. g. wells.

Ho chi minh, gunga din
Henry luce and john wilkes booth
And alexanders
King and graham bell.

Ramar krishna, mama whistler,
Patrice lumumba and russ colombo,
Karl and chico marx,
Albert camus.

E. a. poe, henri rousseau,
Sholom aleichem and caryl chessman,
Alan freed and
Buster keaton too

And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done

For bein' done too soon,
For bein' done too soon.
For bein' done...

wow there seems to have been a lot of deaths on these forums. Mark, Deb and Randy, and now Flow

Kind of unusual. But that's quite an honor for people to help others prepare for death. A sacred task.

 

[Muslimwoman]

My dear Flow, thank you so much for your words of comfort, peace and encouragement, I feel I am a better person because you shared your thoughts with me. I have missed you terribly and shall continue to do so. You were a gentleman in the real sense of the term and a much loved friend to us all. Sleep well.







(erm, Randy died???? When, how, my brain is going to implode soon)
