Forgive my absense

[Loretta Riddell (Elohi)]

In this little world of mine
Those I love and those I have chosen
as my Family seem to be struggling..

One Cousin has had 9 brain surgeries
and has another one in 4 weeks

Another Cousin has been fighting Cancer
and just found out the treatments have
Caused a second cancer..

The hubby has had surgery on one foot and
has a second surgery on the other foot in
a few days

Then my Mothers Oldest Sister passed away
the 19th at the age of 94 2 more weeks and she would have hit 95.. There is only one left now of the 13 siblings and she is the baby of
all of them and young enough to be my sister..

Then one of my Veterans passed away, homeless, no Family, a proud man who accepted no handouts, worked for the little he had and a Proud USMC Veteran.. And this part of my world has stepped
up and the Patriot Guard will escort him to his Final Resting Place
PFC James M. Hildebrand,
USMC, Veteran, Portland, OR, 22/Aug/14

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Patriot Guard Riders, we have been requested to stand for U.S. marine Corps Veteran, PFC James M. Hildebrand. James was indigent and passed away with no family to claim him. He will be buried with Military Honors through the Dignity Memorial Homeless Veteran Burial Program, and we will stand as family. Please honor his service to our nation.

At my age I honor our Fallen be it while serving or after service to our Country. I also remain firm in support of all my Family. And when we lose someone it seems to take it's toll
when I create Videos in their Honor..

Many times due to beliefs I shared with others of our Native American backgrounds and Traditions I have those who will tell me or maybe I should say my Heart when those in my life have safely
crossed over..There have been times when a Loyal True four legged
Family member has left me I have been enlightened to the Fact
they too have crossed over

Some think this is strange and makes me strange..

But I Believe in all things being Possible and it leaves

me with Peace in my life

I finished this video yesterday

Thank You for your words Stan Williams, I was raised to believe yet being human I have at times ended up on my knees but with age traditions and faith I have been able to find my way back with a Positive trust and it is possible..I also want to friend you so I do not lose you amongst the many so I can listen to your music.. Many of my shows have done with unknown creative commons musicians and I find I enjoy music from those who sing and play from the heart
