Been quite a while since I have blogged! In that time I have feverously been though a rash of emotions. Cheekie and I took the plunge this year and went on a Christmas Holiday to ourselves to Disneyworld. We had a wonderful time, missed families,but had a great time. We anxiously awaited the arrival of our beastie's and their family from North Carolina! They arrived on December the 26. A few hours after arrival Allison's dad became very ill and had to be transported to the hospital. We all bonded as the family that we are at that point and over the next 2-1/2 weeks we helped James through prayer and support to aid in getting him home to North Carolina! Once James arrived home he began a strange but steady improvement. On January 18,2011 My buddy, My best friends Dad, and a Granddad that would make anyone proud, succumbed to complications from his lung Cancer. Cheekie and I had a very pleasant stay in North Carolina. We loved everyone we me and enjoyed all that we could do. I am posting this in absolute tribute to one of the Greatest men I have ever met.
I have with great honor made a Picture Movie show in tribute to the kindness of his life, with the help of his dear daughter Allison Morris King. Please CLICK on the Title of the show to view the show.
