and I knew he loved me. Bigger than life, he was a man’s man so at home in his skin. His legs bowed just a little creating a sexy swagger when he walked. He was ornery as cat dirt most of the time non-filtered Camels tucked in a pocket, or rolled in a T-shirt sleeve, tanned arm out the side window cruising a titty-pink & white ‘57 Chevy and I knew he loved me. He could cuss and fight with the best of them, a man’s man, but gentle with me running his fingers through my hair while I sat on the floor between his bowed legs as we watched TV and I knew he loved me. Uncle Sam needed medics in Nam. He never thought to question. The town sheriff was Dad and Dad taught him to do what’s right. His name was Doug, bigger than life, a man’s man,
so easy in his skin, ornery yet gentle, and I knew even my name was safe in his mouth because he loved me. Dear God, how I loved him, too ...
CJ, this is such a beautiful tribute to a man that shared your heart. It is a terrible thing, war. I wish that we could all live in peace and harmony. This very sad piece touched my heart, CJ. The way that you talk about him here, we all know what a wonderful man he was.
But he is with God, and he is also beside you too. I can see too, that you affectionately take strength from all that he did, and all the love he had for you, and you had, and still have, for him.
Very sad CJ, but thank you for sharing these deeply personal emotions and thoughts.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. May He comfort your soul, by placing Doug at your side, to watch over you and yours. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little den sister, Barbie
"If I have to be this girl in me, Then Ihave the right to be."
And Doug's cherished name and memory are richly nourished continuously by your deep, bottomless fountain of love.
Thank you for sharing this intimate tribute.
CJ, dear CJ, this one touches the heart and soul deeply, my friend. I'm so sorry this had to happen. A loved one, so young, take away like this, is difficult to understand, almost impossible to forget. Be stong, one day you will meet again. For now, hold on to the sweet memories and treasure those night-time dreams.
God Bless you always...Remember, He holds you tenderly in His care!
Lots of love
Lena

OH this one touches the reader deeply as we observe him from your memories............ Beautiful...... Sorry....
It must have taken amazing strength and resolution to write this CJ. Although I see in the picture a beautiful bride, I say your beauty has magnified ten fold. You are indeed a brave young lady and I love you for it.
