I just missed Steve's call at 2:50 CST Sun., had gone to eat lunch with a friend of mine. He usually calls a 2nd time in the eve. when he knows I HAVE to be home. I feel aweful I missed his call. Rhinnie is at peace and whole again. But I feel so empty. I met them on the same trip as when Glenn met them. They stayed here for the night, wow, 6 years ago.

Hello my dear friends. Sorry for the long silence.
Thanks for all your wonderful words. It is still hard to believe that Rhinnie's not in the next room.
I got home Tuesday evening about 5 pm and wasn't home about an hour when Mike and Earl came over. While they were here, Tom and Bob stopped by. There are a few members that have been out to visit me and have met these great guys.
They visited and we shared and recalled wonderful memories. Rhinnie's spirit was among us. It was a wonderful time. I sent them home about 930.
It's now Wednesday morning. Like I said earlier, I'm sitting in my home office, reading my e-mails, glancing over at the clock (time flys by). Usually about 8:30, I'd go to Rhinnie and wake him up and ask him what he wants for breakfast. His favorite was an English Muffin with low sugar jelly.
Yesterday morning, Mom and I had English muffins for breakfast. As I was buttering I started to cry. I said to Mom it seems strange not to be fixing one for Rhinnie, too. He could eat English muffins every morning, if I would let him. The same for apples. I would ask him, "can I get you something to eat?" "No!" "Are you sure?" "Yes!" "Sandwich?" "No!" "Cookies?" "No!" "Something to drink?" "No!" "An apple?" "Okay!"

What happened?
What happened?
Rhinnie and I left Mom’s house (in Florida) Sunday morning to head back home. While we were driving back, Rhinnie went to sleep. When I tried to wake him, he didn’t respond. I took him to a hospital, but he wasn’t breathing. The team immediately called a code blue, and I asked them please don’t resuscitate him. The doctor immediately asked who I was and I told him I was his life partner and I know he did not want to be resuscitated. The doctor responded that was good enough for him and all efforts were stopped.
It was a pretty horrible time both then and recalling it each time someone asks what happened. Perhaps, in time, it will be easier to discuss, but for now, every time I relate the story, it is hard.
Every time I call someone to tell them of Rhinnie’s passing, it is so painful. They are usually in shock and start to cry and that gets me going, too.
