Auld Lang Sign.. or how ever it is spelleds

ok... so no secret its been a long and rocky roa?d. i ill never not love keith, kevin or josh but in some ways their impacts on my life are either connected to their live but peripherally or impacting on my behavior but indirectly. it is my perception that for the most part the thoma family of le claire iowa would cheerfully hang me out to fry... or dry as the case may be. ironically the step family from durant iowa seemed to genuinely welcome me with open arms. i recently leared that oliver hansen,most recently of durant iowa, has passed away. he was a man who gave of himself wholely to his every project and to every conversation. he made me feel as if my thoughts and oppinions mattered and that my future plans had merrit. most of all he made me feel welcome ina family that was not mine hundreds of miles away. nearly a year after his death i discover i owe him a memeorial and i also owe him my belated grief.

rip oliver and chrystol hansen. life did not make us families but my heart sure did.
