I remember Kathy telling me how *my* Adri gurl used to thank a customer at Shoprite. I believe she used to sorta kinda put her hands together, somewhat, and slightly bend, as they might in Japan, to thank them. How absolutely wonderful and sooooo respectful of others Adri was. Except for one time, when she was little and she tried to show her Papa how to work games on the computer with the hand held devices. OMG, she lost patience very quickly with him and grabbed the controls out of his hand. "Nevermind she said, give them back to me (the controls). You don't know how to do this!!!" Needless to say, that was the end of their journey together into computer land. She forgave him though.

Sharing. Oh so Easy to do when I stop to remember such good memories. 

Life is somewhat like a bowling experience with bumpers to help you thru. You hit those bumpers and you never fail to get at least one pin! At least one!! So it is with memories about Adri and Kissina. I remember Kathy taking their cheeks and s-q-u-e-e-z-i-n-g them t-i-g-h-t together and having them repeat:

                  "I'm a chubby, chubby baby -- chubby baby, NOW SMILE"

And of course they could only smile so much. But their eyes and giggles said it all. In those moments, how happy, wonderful and good life was, no matter the circumstances.

It will be again. Bumpers will expand towards each other and we'll only, all of us, we'll only be able to hit strikes in our lives. All tears will be a thing of the past.

But for now, we wait. We fill in the times with bumpers & REMEMBRANCES!!

Soon cannot be soon enough, but I know that YOU have it all under control. I often wonder/know how I would have done things here on earth, had I the authority and I know *quiet* would be the word of the day! But I also have come to learn that mistakes make the best remembered learning times. Some mistakes we know of the minute we make them and some mistakes, we have not a clue, which is where YOUR Love comes in to correct us. Sometimes that correction will be, shall we say, not tooooo bad, but the other times will be, as our parents would say, "this hurts me more than it hurts you", sentiment. I miss Adri. For all her thoughts, be they right or wrong, she was a most kind human being. I try to learn from her and more often than not, I fail where she suceeded. She was born kind and stayed kind and that  was the/YOUR true miracle. She had justification to be - other than kind - once in awhile, but I never remember her wavering in who she was at her core. It was a privilage to know her and hold her in my arms. I know that the end of mankinds cruelity is shortly to take place. This is why Adri came down with cancer in the first place. It was what we have all done and continue to do, to the atmosphere, the water, the ground, the thoughtlessness that caused her and all who suffer to continue to suffer. I know that soon, we all will come to the knowledge of YOUR Truth. Please hasten the day and hasten Adri's return to her mom, her sister and me. Thanks for listening YAH. Thanks for your Son, Yeshua, who carried out YOUR Plan to save us from ourselves. Thank you.
