{{{GRADY DEAR ONE}}}{{tears}}}}}}}} This is a reason I posted today about the poem the Lord helped me with and the blog I did all day for the past 48 hours he has hammered this one over to me. I hardly deal with instruction from his word or poems that call for truth. But I did this time please read them when you get a chance. I have known you big POLICE and wonderful Construction Poetic Burly loving and caring being for so many years now. I know the battles you fought and the struggles I know you have shared your Daddy and life and the hardships and I think God has done a wonderful job with you and your positive writings. I am proud to know you and love you {{ONE POET}} Always have been and even when I have been away I stopped often and always looked for you and your unique poetry. Bless you {{{HUGS}}}
Much Love
May God Speed you To peace,
Love Lady

Of course it maybe a little too late for this after writing for several years.

I agree with you since I tried not writing for awhile, and I was one very unhappy soul. But I truly hope you find the happiness you seek, my friend.

Grady I'm glad to know that you are leaving because of yourself...but to say I am not feeling pissed off about it...I would be dishonest!!

Take care and do stay in touch at least okay!!

God Bless You and your family Grady!!

Love Tinka :(((((

Grady:

I'm so sorry people take your words as their own. However, I know you were just talking about your true heartfelt feelings.

I'm so glad that through your writings you were able to come to terms with "being born", and accept yourself as who you are. I do think that we all come into this world for one reason or another, and we all have something to offer - big or small it doesn't really matter. What matters is that we lived, and we did offer something to the world.

You have been a valuable member in AD, and believe it or not, I often wonder where you could be whenever you didn't post for some lengthy period of time. You are always being thought of - it's all good.

I wish you all the best, and whenever you feel the need to write again, just return and write. You are always welcome and are always a valuable friend.

((((( Lots of love and hugs )))))

Just remember one thing ok...I will always care about you...please stay safe and well dear man...HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Love,
Chantilly.....One more thing thank you for always being so sweet to me....

When someone leaves my life, a part of me goes with that someone just as you will leave a part of yourself within me (and the others) -- that's the way it is with spiritual relationships which is what writing is all about. Bless you -- your work will be missed. R

I will miss your undying optimism, Grady. You are a fine man and you do a lot of good here, no matter if someone or several someones don't agree with that notion. Take good care of yourself. You know, we all go through phases in our lives, I have been a musician, a singer, an actor, a dancer, a photographer, a business owner, part of a security team, a painter, a crafter, a writer, a poet, a distance runner, an athlete, a counselor, a pot head, a public speaker, a rape victim, a survivor, a disillusioned soul and a deeply loving and intelligent being. I plan to re-visit some of those phases of my life again and some of the others, I would have been happy to have never experienced, but to be honest, they are all a part of me and who I am today. You shouldn't destroy what you have written, put it on a CD, someone who follows you may one day find a key to them self or the strength to go on from your words. It is a blessing to be able to write and to put a piece of our soul into it when we do. We can't destroy who we are, so we should not try to destroy the pieces of our life that are the blueprint of who we have become. Peace and a life filled with love and joy to you, Grady. I am saddened to see you go, but I do understand that we all must follow the course we have set for ourselves in this lifetime. Perhaps you will revisit this phase of your life again, if so, please drop by and say howdy to all of us AD peeps. Via con Dios!
Take care,
Sherry

I'm glad to know that you are leaving because of yourself, not what others might think of you. I really do like your style. All the best to you. Hugs, Laura

When I was down you picked me up
When my soul craved nurishment, you never judged
instead you spoke words of healing and that's God's love
I will miss you wise friend for it was you who gave the nudge
and I moved on to a better place, flying like a dove
soaring to new hieghts, rising from the fall
ever so gently, listening to my own call....
We who love you hurt,
but alas, if it's what you need
then go.
But please don't leave without knowing
God's grace will follow you Grady wherever you go.
In Christ, Holly

Joyce Bowling

If you have to go, you have to go..
I think of becoming private myself for
awhile.
You've been a good friend Grady.
Good luck in all you do.
