Friday Shootout - Things that Remind me of Barry

It has been a busy week and I did not think I would get to post anything this Friday.  But that was an excuse.  I really didn't know how I could handle "Things that Remind me of Barry."   It has astounded me to discover how much grief I can feel over someone that I have only met on the Internet. 

But I stopped this afternoon and looked at other posts.  Some photos, but mostly thoughts.  And I had to add something.  But what. 

I remembered that back in November, Barry wrote a post about getting his affairs in order.  That was hard to read.   And I then wrote an open letter to Barry.  I was nervous about it because although I knew he was going to be around for awhile longer, I wanted to but my emotional affairs in order too.  It was a kind of goodbye letter...premature, of course, and I was afraid he'd take it wrongly.  But, of course, he didn't.  He loved it.  And now, I am glad I wrote it then.  Because it would be too late to write it now. 

I'll post a link to it - Letter to Barry .   But of course he doesn't need human electronic links any more. 

God, I miss him!

I hope this post works because I've had a bear of a time trying to get Blogspot to upload videos. And I had new movie maker that is too complicated. So this has taken...blah blah blah. Anyhow, today is the day that Barry the Great Explorer completes his Chemo and gets to ring the hospital's chemo completion bell! And lots of people around the world are ringing with him. I thought I'd ring it on my blog! Yea Barry!




I sure hope it posts right...
