Folsom Prison Blues BOTB Reveal
I apologize but I am going to be short and to the point in this runaway battle. Jay Valor won by a landslide with the contenders each getting a vote. It really wasn’t a contest but there you have it!
Please check out the other battles underway today. Participants are listed in my side bar beneath the BOTB banner.
Today, we say our goodbyes to Daddy. It’s going to be a difficult day. Death is the natural order of things but you don’t want it to ever happen. The comfort I carry with me is in knowing that Daddy is free from pain, living in heaven where he belongs and that one day I will see him again. Please keep us in your prayers.
I have a mid-month battle scheduled so watch for that but coming up next is Monday’s Music Moves Me. This is CAAC signing off, have a bandtastic day! X💋X💋, Cathy

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord

Stephen,
Daddy surely would say a big “Amen” to this one. Present with the Lord is where he stands now for all eternity!

Our prayers are with you, Cathy. Daddy will always be with you in mind and in soul. 💖

We’ve sure been thinking of you during this tough time. Prayers and hugs from all of us.
Cathy Kennedy
Thank you so much, my dear furriend!

Just remember, Cathy, while the body dies, the person doesn’t. He lives on in your heart and memories of him. Thinking of you and yours.
Cathy Kennedy
John,
This is so very true. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, my friend!

I wish you well and pray for the comfort of your family in these times. Both of my parents are long gone, but there’s not a day that I don’t think about them. Our parents stay with us long after they have departed this Earth. Cherish your wonderful memories and perhaps you can eventually preserve them in your writing.
I’m glad about the outcome of your Battle since Jay was my pick as well. Your vote distribution was almost as bad as mine, but it turned out well for both of us I think.
I’ll probably have my own midmonth Battle as well. Hope to see you then.

Lee,
I know Daddy is with me, even if it’s only in my memories. The good news is I know I’ll be reunited with him one day. DH’s mother left us in 2014 and his dad 2018. They are often in my thoughts. God blessed me with special in-laws. They were truly the best!
I am making every effort to answer comments and hopefully I can read posts I’ve missed while away. I certainly will try to get over to your place tomorrow for your battle.

Today will be tough and so will the next few days..it will feel blurry but you have your family, friends and your memories. He is near you always.

Birgit,
I hate funerals. The person in this life never looks the same and I always remind myself that’s the house the soul lived in while here on earth. That’s not Daddy. He’s at peace resting with the Lord. I prefer to think of him as the bigger than life personality that he was, always so happy and often time quite silly. That’s the man I will always remember, not the one I saw last Friday for the last time. I appreciate your words of comfort and for being a good friend especially by letting our friend, Tom, know about what’s going on. Have a blessed day, my dear!
