For Myra,

I have come to the end of my road and the sun has set for me.

I want no rites in a gloom filled room why cry for a soul set free.

Miss me a little but not for long and not with your head bowed down

Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me, but let me go.

For this journey we must take and each must take alone

Its all part of the master plan a step on the road home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we knew

and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds for others the piece

of heart will lift you and carry you through...

Oh, where do I start, my life is getting harder as I age. There is a severe lack of compassion and respect from one to another. The violence and uncertainty with each day.
Pray for me in that I may grasp onto whatever knowledge I need because my life has gone so wrong. I too want to graduate to a higher level and be among the one's that matter, that go on to a new and bright future. Your always, and will always be alive in me. Not one day goes by without you in it.

The world was much more kinder and sweeter when you were here.
We are suffering the worst of times with a disease called COVID 19. And it's turned into a pandemic. You would have been heavily involved working for the pharmacy.
You haven't missed anything for each year people become more distant from one another and it seems as though every five years we suffer another disease that takes thousands and thousands of lives.
I can't wait to see you again to soar the heavens. Please don't forget me as it is you I will look to for guidance to the other side. Soon..

A mighty wind blew night and day it stole the Oak tree's leaves away
Then broke its
bough and bend its bark until the Oak stood tired and stark.
The tired wind gave up and spoke
"How can you still be standing, Oak?
You stood strong and held your ground while other tree's fell all around.
The Oak said, " I know that you can break each branch of mine in two
bend my bough and make me sway
But I have roots deep in this earth growing stronger since my birth you'll never touch them for you see they are the deepest part of me.
Until today I wasn't sure of just how much I could endure
But now I know , thanks to you, I'm stronger than I ever knew.
I love you still, forever and ever my dearest of friends. You are alive in me, vividly.

Happy Birthday my friend. All to often I see you and wonder how good your life would have been. So full of love, happiness, hope, and success. Taken to soon and cut short of a life you were just beginning. If only you had declined in attending class reunion that year. I can still see you waving from the plane window. I miss you so much. I love you.

Hello my dear Myra,
After all these years of not hearing a thing about you, the company that handles your retirement plan sent me a letter asking for any information I might know in getting in touch with your immediate family. Your retirement plan has matured since you would have been 65 this year and they are unable to find anyone to receive the money. After I gave your mother permission to bury you in my dragon dress and scarab ring I never heard from her again. Lord knows I could use the money. I don't even know if you listed any beneficiaries, it sure is needed now.
I don't know how to respond to the letter.
I'm rather bewildered that after 39 years
this company gets in touch with me about you. How on earth did they know that we were connected in 1977? And how on earth
did they know my name and address?
Was it you Myra? Did you guide them to me
so I could collect your retirement? Send me a sign, let me know what to do. As I helped you when you were at your lowest time and struggling, you could return the desperately needed favor. That would be my testimony that your spirit is still alive, there is a heaven, and you still love me as much as you did then unconditionally - ignoring all my faults.
I miss my friend. If I could erase the horrific events of August 7th, 1977 I would do it in a minute. The events of that day changed my life forever. I will talk to you soon. I promise.
All my Love and Devotion! Forever.

My sister, my friend. All of you have gone and left me. Mom, Dad and you. How I miss you everyday and wonder what you'd be doing today if you had lived. My birthday is next week. I miss the fuss you would have made if you were alive. Tell Mom and Dad I'll be home soon with all of you. Together in the Lords loving arms.

For year's I have been unable to search the archives to find out what happened that horrible night in Wisconsin. I remember seeing your smiling face of excitement as you went aboard the plane. I read your card's and told you to postpone the trip; that I saw you and five other friend's in a horrific accident, and that no one would come out of it alive. But you didn't believe in the cards and you ignored my premanitions Your excitement for class reunion was much stronger Since your death I have not read the cards for anyone else. I can not accept the fact that you are gone my friend. You were a sweetheart and so close to graduation from pharmacology school. I often wonder how my life would have turned out. You and I. You were good for me.. I will always hold memories of you alive, in my heart so that you can live on through me. I'll be back soon. All my Love to you still...

One day in sunny San Francisco we met . You were 24 and I 22. We both struggling youth out for the first time on our own. You from Kaukauna Wisconsin me from Rumford Maine. We decided it would be better to share an apartment. We had no problem moving in with each other since we both had very little to our names. You worked as a pharmacy technician and I work at Mills Memorial Hospital .

You asked me what was it I saw. I told you the number 7. On the 7th day of the 8th month 7 people will died and one would be you. You didn't believe me so August 4th you flew to Wisconsin. I waved as your plane departed. Them on 8/8/1977 your mother called and told me I was right on the penny. And I've never ever been so sorry in my life my friend. I miss you, I always will. RIP Myra

It was a match made in the stars. When we could afford it we'd paint the town. We both loved Foster City and every thing seemed to be just perfect until you told me you would be going home to celebrate class reunion. You couldn't wait to tell your Mom how wonderful things had turned out. But the impending doom I saw for you was hard to hide. A preminition I regret to this very day.

If I Had The Power..

August 24, 2021
It was a beautiful day in Candle Stick Park when I set up my table in the shade of my favorite tree. I had come to read Tarot cards to those individuals who were interested. I had been doing this for about a year and gradually gain a steady following of recurring clients.
I had begun reading the cards of those who had lined up and noticed that off in a distance a small framed woman moved closes to the table with each reading.
She held a peaked interest in every word I said. Finally after a while I asked her if she wanted her cards read.
Oh, no I don't believe in the Tarot she told me.
So I proceeded to gather my things as we talked to one another. She was filled with an electric energy, bubbling over and shinning through the smile on her face.
A smile of that of a child keeping a big secret that she was having difficulty containing. So I invited her over to my nephew Daniels for some refreshment.
I found out she was attending
one of the colleges in the city and was close to graduating in the field as a Pharmaceutical Assistant.
All the way from Kaukauna Wisconsin, she was 24 and her name was Myra Bruss. Immediately she asked me if I had a room to rent because she was in dire need of one and that she didn't have long to go then she would graduate and be able to refund me for all my troubles. I live in Foster City near Hillsbourgh in San Mateo County I told her which is many miles from the College. Well we chartered all the way to my home and there we decided that Myra had a home until graduation to start. Her breath would fill me with life and I felt so good inside and we were like two peas in a pod and worked out wonderful. Since I lived very close to the hospital where I worked, I allowed Myra to take the car into the city each day for her classes.
I felt my house was a home now and she was part of my family. We went to the aquarium in Monterey, then traveled on a boat past Alcatraz in the bay. We bought kites on the warf and flew them high in the sky over the San Francisco Bay as we soaked in the summer sun. We rode the cable car's and became groupies every Friday night at the ROXY on Market street with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I as Rocky and she as Magenta. My life was good and I was pleased and secure. 
Time past on and one night in August of 1977 Myra came to me and asked me to read her cards. I said Oh! You don't believe in them so why waste my time. But she was serious. I never lie about the outcome and in the past I had some overwhelming outcomes.
I handed her the cards to shuffle. When I laid them out I wanted to lift them back up and say no not tonight.
Ok I told her, I'm going to give it to you in a nutshell.
In the 8 month, on the 28 day, the 2 hour, 6 people will die and one of them is you.
She laughed it off. Then she told me she was going home for class reunion which was on the 28 of August. You only have one month to go before graduation I told her. Go next year once you've graduated and are more settled. But I couldn't convince her. I drove her to the airport and watched her fly away.
On August 28,1977 at 2 am 6 people died in a head on accident one of them was my dear friend Myra Bruss.
To this day I've never been the same.
