Alas Jimmy has come back down to Earth. As long as Anne still calls the shots, all will be well with the weeping cherry

A base sad. Grief. A love thing said goodbye to. A time when sayings like, “this too shall pass,” just won’t work. Because it’s the passing that’s the thing.The finality of it. You nailed it, Jones. And always — great artwork Mathew.

His pen is very special, and he too is a Marine, so that combination has been wonderful for years. Now that doesn’t mean that Robert will drop his pen, and ride off into retirement from creating such wonderful stuff! Once a Marine always a Marine–once a writer always a writer! I salute you, R.H.J.–Happy Days–Jack Orth

You just got better and better. This is beautiful valedictory writing. Now begin your own memoir if you feel the need, the itch. Share all the rest of your amazing stories…..Cheers Pal. Well done.
