I think your reference to purgatory might be correct. Of all of the children Armand and Colin adopted, Louise was the most demanding. Ronnie knows what happened, I'm not sure he will tell Colin and Armand

My life was changing. Carl painted an Angel for the building on the knoll. “Dad, come with me I want to show you something.”tt Passing Ivan’s farm, I knew where we were going. It was a few weeks since I was here. I felt as if I let down my friends who were sleeping here. I followed Carl as we climbed the small hill. He opened the door, turned on the lights and I gasped at what I saw. On the back wall was a painting of three angels. I saw Michael, he was center, Michael, to his rig

You know I am older than Armand in my story. So I also have seen friends, and family pass on. The sadness is knowing you will pass on and in doing that you will cause hurt.
-
That is very appropriate for Armand and Colin. As they get older, death becomes a liability for them
-
Normally I would end a story with "THEY LIVED HAPPILY FOREVER" But not this story. I have taken from Armand's childhood, through school, and as an adult. Now as a senior citizen, he must face old age

I just turned 86 and, like you, I have seen friends pass on. There are times I wish I had GG

Death is difficult for those who remain behind. Grieving is a part of life

Yes, life moves on. Those who mean the most to us leave us with memories.

With Roger’s passing, I realized that not only were we getting old but our family was getting old as well.. I didn’t like that, Mary was 25 years older than Colin, and mom and dad were of the same generation as Mary. Marie was ten years younger than Mary. Pat was a few years younger than Mary. When Carl got his bachelor’s degree in art, he and Carla got married. We chuckled at their wedding when he said he could now paint her in the nude. I asked him to move in with my mom and dad, Carla went to

Colin said the fourth floor would be empty. So the boys who worked for Charley will be moving into two of the trailors.
-
I'm not sure but the boys from the fourth floor at the Home will be moving in. I think they have girlfriends
-
It would help if you considered that they didn't become friends until after Roger resigned from Yale. They certainly knew each other and Armand was one of his star pupils.
-
Death is difficult to write about but it is part of life. We all need to face it, some sooner than others. Take care
-
Yes, any one woyld be happy to be united with friends, either alive or after life. Roger was happy, that was what Armand needed.
-
Of the three, Armand was close to Roger. He was his teacher, then became his friend, introducing him to the art world,
-
No matter how your friend is in a better place, going by death is difficult. In some ways, it is a selfish reaction. You hurt but he doesn't any longer.

I had a project for Carl. Something was missing on the knoll. Laying in bed reading James’s book, “I Marcel”, I thought about the paintings he wanted to enrich the book. I started to chuckle thinking of Marcel with his baton, a wooden spoon. He not only used it to cook but also to slap some fingers when the cooks would try and sample something without using the proper sampling spoon. As I was chuckling, Colin came to bed. Climbing in next to me,” I really feel tired tonight.” He looked

Death and sadness are companions. But we need both, our memories keep them alive and soon we will chuckle over their antics. It's a way of coping with their deaths and keeping them alive
-
Yes, but I think Carl might take point on this project. Having electric service guarantees they won't have the same problem that had with Arnaud's mausoleum
-
If you remember, the Captain worked for the shipping line. When the company sold the boat to Colin, the captain and first mate went with the boat. It was a retirement job for them
-
Colin and Armand are lucky to have enjoyed their friendship for a long time. It is inevitable death is always the culmination of life,
-
Yes, it is comforting for Armand and Colin to know where they will be. Colin was smart, building their final place on a knoll.
-
And yet, when the time comes, they will cry.
-
Thanks. We all progress to the time when we begin to look at our life with a definite end. Our bones and aches tell us we are no longer young men or women. The inevitable end will occur and those left behind will weep but they will also remember.
