Good Memories

The Commander wanted old Kadizzle to check some AA batteries.  In the course of using the volt meter, and putting the batteries in the GPS Kadizzle had to take the battery cover off the GPS.  On the back of the GPS is a little cover for the batteries.  At some point the cover became dysfunctional.  Our old sailing friend who is missed to this day said he would take the GPS to Bismarck and load it with maps.  This is the kind of thing Dean would do.  When the GPS came back not only had Dean filled it with maps and information he also did a very neat repair on the battery cover.  Every time I put batteries in that GPS I think of Dean.

Now, Ray has moved on to his workshop somewhere else in the universe.  Over our kitchen sink is the stained glass Ray made.  On the boat Ray put in a lot of time and made new slides for the hatch cover.  As life goes on those of us still on terra ferma will see those little reminders of good people will bring us good memories.  It was those small acts of kindness that last.  There is no better friend than the one who sees you have a problem. Without being asked they come to your aid. Someday we all have to go to the great beyond. Hopefully what we will leave behind is little acts of kindness that will stay in the hearts of those we left behind.
