It is time to pay honor to one who doesn’t know it is do I begin from this point as all of us in a sense we Are doing the same thing for me it is writing my way out yours is different but before I go I will have my Say I realize I gave all my attention to her mother and father now it is time to shine the light on her Reveal her inner and outward glory and beauty to do this and to make sense I have to lay a little ground Work on how we met and ultimately what it meant as brief as possible I had a Simi normal life until I Was five and my family left church you need paints from hell to paint the rest of my parents life we Banged and stumbled along and then at twelve they divorced and all of a sudden my dad and I weren’t A family in the eyes of those we rented from so they kicked us out and we ended up in a mine shack no Sheet rock on the walls no ceiling no bathroom no heat after about a month the family had a meeting I Was delivered from hell to heaven I went from sleeping under ten blankets to a sheet and light blanket at His sister’s house what luxury then my mother bribed me by buying me a television to live with her folks That where Judy comes in she lived down the street I already knew her because her brother and I was Best friends but my move put me into a place ruled by two laws Willie’s law and Judy’s law I learned in School supposedly the wave came about when you met someone long ago it was showing you had no Weapon and that you were friendly well with Judy there was a different wave you instinctively put your Hand behind you back feeling to see if anything would impede your escape put it this way you didn’t Want to whirl around and run head first in to something and then fall back in her arms you heart could Stop no problem she would scream and it would start in a hurry when you’re young your naturally stupid Or one time I was told ignorant that means you just haven’t been taught yet anyway it sounds better but First to show innocent stupid she and her sister Barb were pretty they sing about California girls Illinois Isn’t full of woofers this isn’t a kennel well I was in the living room and barb goes back to her bedroom She is back there about an hour she went back there just like always but as fate would have it I was Moving across the floor and she walks out God she looked like she stepped out of a glamour magazine I Didn’t know it but I was doing a Gomer impression not the aw shucks degum but I found out my mouth Had fallen open barb looked at me and laughed and said what’s the matter I was dumbstruck Max Factor and Barb hit a homerun that day that was good stupid but I followed my uncle in a sense he left Home at thirteen and worked and lived with the local bootlegger I was basically on my own at fourteen I Had to make decisions and find my way not always making the smartest moves that’s where Judy comes In God made her with a sense of justice and what Washington doesn’t have the guts to take action she Was never mean just for meanness sake but *****-up don’t worry I don’t know the avenging angel but I Knew his helper people cry God is distant he is close at hand he puts people in your life so you don’t end Up like my fiend Melvin we would listen to our dad’s story of the antics they pulled when they were Younger this farmer the next day would try to top them he stole something from the store when the Manager was looking at him and then chased him of the store each act of defiance made him more Reckless worse than that it made him meaner I finally cut him loose I heard about him he walked into a Liquor store pulled out a gun the store owner shot first he died on the operating table I had many helps Getting to adult hood gentle souls were positioned along the way and tough ones when needed like Rex Perry’s mom Roxanna she was a red head to but her rule was quiet and powerful midst storms for sure But I took notice and I never forgot and there was tom’s mother another red head Elsie pretty and sweet A true charmer I’m bring these folks up to Judy’s mind a little thrill for her special day Friday one Last addition her neighbor Sara because of this special memory I don’t think Judy saw this I will share it Now we were out at the end of Sara’s house snow was already falling but all of a sudden and I truly think That if Heaven ever did disintegrate this would be the first evidence of it the flakes became big as silver Dollars the sky filled with them they floated so softly and slow you were pulled skyward and you were Allowed to float down with them a wonderland was forming before our eyes I said I would never forget And I never have another precious memory from childhood and a great street just right for Christmas Greeting and a happy birthday for a special friend thanks Jude making my life great have a great birthday
