Happy Lighthouse Day, My Readers! So, Homecoming Week has come to an End, which ends with Lighthouse Day. Now, Homecoming Week did not come without It’s What I call “April Blues”. In other words, that is The Bad Luck of The Month of April that I talked about in Last Week’s Newsletter. Refer to It, If You have not read it. Here is The Link to Make It Easy for You!
(Clearing Throat) As I was Saying, So The “April Blues” was in effect This Week. Our Kitchen Sink started Leaking. Long Story, Short, We could not get the Old One off therefore having to get a New One. Another Leak happened and Ruined The Laminate Floor. And, I had to deal with Paco getting Sick and Not Feeling Well while My Mom was having a Business Meeting down The Road. Ohhh Yeah! as My Uncle Bruce would say. So, Because it is Lighthouse Day, I want focus not on Those Facts because I wanted to write about Paco and Me taking Care of Him, but I am wondering now, If that would Hinder the Celebration that This Day, that strangely, I have been looking froward to. Like I said Last Week, Lighthouses are Cool! So, A Day, although in context, Is not a Happy Memory Day, but A Day to Celebrate The Person as well as Lighthouses associated? Well, Then It makes an otherwise Sad Day, be a Little more Happy. Funny Thing, I actually had a Good Newsletter about a Week before Popi (My Mom’s Dad and Person in Question) Passed Away. So, I am going to Rerun It for Him, on Lighthouse Day, to Honor Him.
So, A Little Background First, At This Time in My Life, I was kind of into Facebook, but Only to be Friends with My Friends from High School. Baring in Mind, that at The Time, I had a PC but, I was concerned with Viruses while being on Facebook. Anyway, It was at a Time when You could have Song Playlists on Facebook and I heard One Song and It Made Me think of Popi because at The Time, He was in The Hospital. So, This Newsletter is an Honor to You, Popi! Happy 11th Lighthouse Day!
This Newsletter written on April 9th of 2008 (Refer to Newsletter 97)
So, A couple days I was on my Facebook page listening to music like I always do and I decided to play “Against the Wind” by Bob Segar and dedicated it to Popi since he’s still in the hospital. And, then I thought “Well, maybe I should detail his life in a list of songs to show the legacy that he has and the legacy he’ll leave in our heart now and forever. Now, my veteran readers of The Christianville Spirit know that I hadn’t hit a good series of newsletter in a while and I’m sure they think we’re long over due. So, here is. I call this series “Soundtrack of Your Life”. You know how we want to know what the world is in God’s Plan for us. Well, think of this way. God is listening to his I-pod, I-phone, or other music devices playing the songs of your life. Which ever stage you’re on, it’s a song. When the song is over, the next song comes on. Or in other words that’s another stage. So, considering Popi’s current condition and believe it or not he’s still chasing nurses around. So, either there must be a lot of nurses to chase or those nurses must pretty for him to stay this long. But, without further a due, this is The Play list of Popi’s Life. First song we’ll start off with is when Popi being born to when he was young “Walk Of Life” by Dire Straits. He was just beginning his life as he was born. Little did he know what a life he was going to live or a legacy he was going to lead? Then, that famous story of him and “Rags” getting into trouble together with the girl that hung around them. For this episode we’ll play “I get by with a little help from My Friends” by The Beatles because even thought they would get into trouble to no end, they have been some pretty good friends. Next, several years later he marries his first wife, Grandma Honey for which we’ll play “Heaven” by Bryan Adams. Next, her and Popi have Julie Smith (who will soon be My Mom), Bruce Smith (Uncle Bruce), Craig Smith (Uncle Craig), and finally Brian Smith (Uncle Brian). After all those children we’ll play “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns and Roses. Later, he sadly divorces Grandma Honey and later married My Steppi Sue, for this we’ll play “Life’s Been Good” by The Eagles. A couple years later, was one of my memories tied to his life and that was the Spring Break that we went to up North to a friend’s cabin; for this we’ll play “Life is a Highway” by Rascal Flatts. About a year later, we went to up to Toledo for My Grandma Mimi 90th Birthday on Super Bowl Weekend when it was in Detroit. That night My Uncle Bruce, Aunt Carolee, and Popi for some reason drove into Downtown Detroit to see all Super Bowl celebrations. For this we’ll play “I Want Rock N’ Roll All Night” by Kiss. So, we’ll add all his life and legacy together and play the “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong for the last song of Popi’s Play list Series. All in all though, he has led quite an awesome live and legacy. But, no matter what happens to him now. His legacy will live on forever; he’s made a good hand print on the world. And, his hand print is like no other in the world!
Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. What’s the Play list like in your life?
