Delicious! Easy prep, great flavor, loved the crunch of the veggies. We added brown rice to the wrap for bulk. The family loved it, will definitely make this again.

Lots of ingredients but worth the effort. Just the right amount of tang. Served with 1/2 c cooked jasmine rice
chmcnamara Posted: 09/03/13
These were so good! Definitely going into my regular rotation. My grocery store didn't have sambal oelek so I used sriracha. I'm going to keep my eye out for it next time I find myself in a store with a more expansive "ethnic" selection though.

I felt like the vegetables in the wrap needed to be mixed in a dressing of there own. The meat was spicy, but everything else, bland.

Part 14 in a series of articles on setting up a Ruby on Rails environment for those new to programming and Rails.
Ruby Plugin Libraries
With RVM up and running, and our selected Ruby installed, we are ready to dive into the world of RubyGems, the comprehensive plugin architecture for the Ruby Language. Together with Bundler, which provides installation and dependency management for gems, RubyGems and RVM provide all the components needed to install Rails and many of the extensions that you will come to rely on as a Rails developer.
There are tens of thousands of open source gems published by the Ruby community and your projects will likely depend on many of them. As a new developer any community knowledge that can accelerate your application development is a significant benefit. With time and experience you will hopefully contribute back to the community by getting involved with one of more of the gems that you depend on.
Configuring RubyGems is fairly easy but knowing where to find, and how to select, good gems that will make a difference to your projects is a bit more challenging. Detail on both follow in this article.
RubyGems.org provides a community hosting service for those looking to publish gems and as a result it is also one of the best places to look for interesting plugins for your applications. It provides the packaging system, which is installed automatically with Ruby 1.9 and above, for both publishing gems and installing them.
The specification and publishing components of RubyGems are not as important for the new developer, at least for now, so we will focus instead on configuration and use.
It is worth noting beforehand that with the arrival on the scene of Bundler, discussed in depth in the next article in this series, the need to use the RubyGem interface to install and update gems has greatly diminished, particularly for Rails projects. There will still be some requirements for manual installation in some situations which are touched on below.
Installing Rubygems
As RubyGems is included with Ruby 1.9 you will be able to start using the
gem command as soon as Ruby is installed. For earlier Ruby versions you can easily download the latest version from the RubyGems download page. In any event it will be useful to update to the current version, which is also outlined on the download page.
Note that RVM has a built in function to download RubyGems, as outlined on the RVM RubyGems page, which I recommend using. The main benefit here is easier to remember commands to update the RubyGems system and an easier approach to install a specific version of RubyGems if required. In practice it won't matter much which approach you use, so choose the one that works best for you.
A Note on Naming
You may see references to "Gemcutter" in articles and blog posts on the web. Gemcutter is simply an earlier name for RubyGems. You can safely use RubyGems in the place of Gemcutter in any code or config files you require.
Configuring RubyGems
The following configuration flag, set in the
.gemrc file in your home directory, will improve operation of RubyGems.
1 2
This simply tells RubyGems not to install the internal documentation that comes with the gems when either installing or updating gems. "RDoc" is the Ruby Documentation library which generates HTML documentation from Ruby code while "RI" is the Ruby Information tool, an alternative. I have found that better documentation tends to exist on gem project pages, or on the web at large, and in any case the RDoc information for every gem is published on the RubyDoc.info website for easy access.
RDoc and RI can increase the install time for gems significantly so, given the documentation is available elsewhere, it's worth turning them off.
Be careful in copying other config items from
.gemrc files you may find online. I have found that they are generally unnecessary as they merely copy the standard RubyGems settings, or they are well out of date and include gem sources which are no longer relevant to RubyGems.
Gem Commands
RubyGems have a comprehensive command reference which outlines details of all the gem commands. For the new developer it may look a little overwhelming but there are only a few commands which are really necessary for installing and managing gems rather than building them, especially after the introduction of Bundler which now manages most of the gem environment for Rails projects.
I will outline the key commands that the new developer should understand. Each one also has more detail in the command reference.
To kickstart your Rails environment you are going to need install a few gems, the least of which is Bundler. The
-v flag installs a particular version of a gem rather than the most recent stable version. You don't have to specify a version but out of all the options for the
gem install command this is the one that is most likely to be used in general development.
Simply lists the currently installed gems, including versions numbers. Note that multiple versions may be installed at the same time, and all versions installed will be listed by this command.
Provides some interesting information about your gem environment.
Allows a command line search of all gems. If you provide a string then it will narrow the search. I prefer to search directly on the RubyGems website rather than the command line, but feel free to use what works best for you.
Removes a specified gem. This command is often specified with a version to be removed with the
-v option.
Gem Commands and Bundler
By using Bundler we impact how we approach the use of two specific gem commands which is worth working through.
Both RubyGems and Bundler provide commands to identify outdated gems.
1 2
Bundler will only list gems which are specified for a particular project, while RubyGems will also add relevant global gems into the list. Given this behaviour they both have a role to play.
My preferred approach is to use Bundler to determine outdated project gems and use RubyGems only for checking and managing outdated global gems, of which I have relatively few. Therefore you would run
bundle outdated within a project directory and
gem outdated from your home folder or for projects without Bundler.
In both cases the
outdated commands will simply show a list of gems with a comparison of the currently installed version against the most recently available version on RubyGems.
Bundler also impacts the approach to cleaning up old gem versions, providing its own behaviour to remove out of date gem versions for a project which we will discuss in a future article.
For global gems we can use the
gem cleanup command to remove the old gem versions which are no longer required. If you run it without options it will cleanup after all gems. You can specify a gem name to only cleanup a particular gem and the
-d option will use dry run mode. The cleanup process will review dependencies as it progresses, and if removing a gem would break a dependency then it will ask for confirmation. It is best in this case to keep any identified dependencies installed to ensure that your application continues to run.
It is worth noting that, due to the way Bundler works, there will be very few global gems besides bundler itself. So using
gem install,
gem outdated,
gem cleanup and
gem uninstall will not be required all that often.
Gem Selection
With a clearer understanding of the role gems play, and how to interact with them, the next important question is how to find and select them. Before we find them let's take a short detour into making a selection.
I tend to consider these main components when deciding on a gem:
Is it actively maintained? RubyGems.org provides dates of the most recent versions, the older the date the more likely there may be support and dependency issues for the gem.
How clear is the documentation? No matter how good the gem, if you find it difficult to understand how to use it then it won't provide the functionality that you need.
How many downloads are there? Although not always the case, gems with higher download counts, that are therefore popular, tend to have more community involvement and are therefore more likely to be maintained well in the future.
Are people writing guides and articles about how to use a gem? A great indicator of both popularity and support for a gem, and more information makes it easier to find answers to the inevitable challenges.
How well does the gem integrate with your other selections? Occasionally gems look promising but they don't work well with other important components of your application. Trying to get them to work, particularly if no one else is writing about it, can devour significant time.
Don't just blindly install every gem you find interesting, you need to make a positive decision on each one and how it fits well within your project.
Finding Gems
In terms of finding gems, apart from the stumble upon them approach which tends to happen while searching the web for an answer to an unrelated question, there are a few good sources to choose from.
RubyGems is the obvious starting point given they host the gems. The search interface is simple but tends to provide a good selection of relevant gems, along with versions, dependencies and how many downloads have been made so that you can see popularity.
Ruby Toolbox
The Ruby Toolbox provides a great gem catalogue, free for the community. Gems are well categorised and the builders of the site have made an attempt to provide a measure of gem popularity which is more than just the number of downloads. Each gem has links back to documentation and source code in additional to a wealth of other information.
Although we haven't discussed GitHub in depth, it has generally become the default site for hosting Ruby and Rails related projects. As a result it holds the source code for the majority of the gems that projects use. Direct searching in GitHub can yield some success in finding gems for your projects.
I mentioned Railscasts in the article on TextMate and it is a treasure trove of information and education on Rails - well worth reading and subscribing to. Many of the screencasts that Ryan Bates publishes cover gems and it is a great source of ideas about what could be appropriate for a project.
Ruby Weekly
Ruby Weekly is a free weekly email newsletter, curated by Peter Cooper, which has a great selection of news, articles and libraries/gems.
Ruby 5
Ruby 5 is a short twice weekly podcast, produced by Envylabs, which covers interesting Ruby news and gems.
A Fresh Cup
Mike Gunderloy writes the Double Shot series on A Fresh Cup every day, the amount of interesting articles and code libraries he finds is staggering.
The Changelog
Although not specifically focused on Ruby, The Changelog provides a regular podcast on the open source community, often with comments on interesting code libraries.
Specific Web Searches
Some writers in the Rails community publish their thoughts on gems. Searching may yield some good information to base decisions on.
Installing Gems in Rails
Once we find and choose from all the great gems out there we need to get them installed in our project, and that's where Bundler comes in. The next article will introduce Bundler and describe how gems are specified and controlled for a Rails project.
I will also be writing an article series on gems in the future which will outline my suggestions for a
Gemfile and the reasoning behind each gem within it. Until then you can find plenty of examples online.
This article was updated:
28th April 2012 - Addition of
gem list and
gem uninstall commands.
If you have a comment find me on twitter, @nicholasmott, or send me an email, email@example.com. If you have specific development questions I highly recommend you post them on stackoverflow to both maximise receiving a quick answer and to add to the pool of knowledge for the community.

Goldman Sachs want s to be part of the online conversation?
via NYTimes.com
Goldman Looks to Hire Social Media StrategistBY WILLIAM ALDEN Goldman Sachs may dominate financial markets, but there is one frontier it has not yet conquered: social media.So the Wall Street firm that many on the Internet love to hate plans to hire a "social media community manager," according to a posting on its Web site. The position involves overseeing the firm's online communities and developing a "positive online presence."It is a presence that could use some rehabilitation. The firm's Facebook page is littered with negative comments. A message has yet to be posted on a Twitter account under the Goldman Sachs name.Perhaps the most prominent online voice emanating from the Wall Street firm is a parody Twitter account, @GSElevator, that claims to post snippets of dialogue overheard at work, tending toward the profane.Like its rivals on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs has kept social media at arm's length. The firm bars staff members from accessing major social media sites at work, and it has been known to crack down on employees who share too much online. Although Goldman is one of the investment banks leading the giant Facebook I.P.O., technically its workers are not allowed to browse the social networking site.Even firms that have given employees partial access to social media, like Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, tightly control postings. This is partially because of regulations governing communication, which require firms to archive and monitor messages.But now, Goldman wants to be part of the online conversation.The new social media position, which was noticed earlier by The Financial Times Alphaville blog, involves "ensuring active and engaged communities" and "participating in those conversations to build brand visibility and thought leadership."This means writing Facebook status updates, posting Twitter messages and overseeing LinkedIn activity, according to Goldman. The social media manager will also use tools like Radian6 and Visible Technologies, which help companies track what people are saying about them online, in order to "generate insights."
Of the listed qualifications, one stands out: "Ability to work well under pressure."

Exposed Wooden Lath
Lath and plaster were the wall materials of choice before handy old gypsum wallboard came along. And now, in some homes, it's been revealed to show off the age and material of the structure. Here are a few examples of interiors where old wooden lath was unearthed to make its debut as an interior decor feature:
• 1 Designer Darryl Carter's modernized farmhouse in Virginia, via Elle Decor.
• 2 The bathroom from the same house.
• 3 The texture of lath is celebrated in this uplit bench/wall.
• 4 This isn't old lath, but the look is emulated in this vestibule designed by Bench Dog Design

It's visually interesting, but one wonders about the practicality. Without the plaster, I would expect the plain lath to be drafty and poorly insulating.
We were in the process of tearing down a plaster and lath wall when we had a dinner party. The plaster was off, leaving the lath exposed. Our friends joked that it was a "modern" look, and that we should have left it just like that.
I think they were only sort-of joking. It did look interesting: like an exposed brick wall or something.
Anyone who would consider doing this has not actually seen, and smelled, exposed lath up close. It is dirty and nasty.
Funny, I just went through a home renovation & thought the lath looked really cool exposed...but it's VERY dirty.
Even multiple passes with the shop-vac didn't make much of a dent. The amount of dust only abated when I put drywall back up.
Agreed! I love the look, and found it under our plaster walls when we renovated. But not only is it dirty, they also used to use hair (cow? horse?) in there... well, at least it was in ours. After some digging and enquiring, that's what I found out. So, not sure how you would get rid of the hair...
My house was built in 1927 so I've encountered plenty of lathe when opening up and knocking down my plaster walls. As others have commented, I too liked the look of the exposed lathe, but didn't think it was practical to keep it that way.
I kept some of it around, thinking it could eventually be used in a project or two. A few weeks back, I decided to build a small console out of some unfinished birch ply shelves I was no longer using. I ended up sanding the lathe and using it as the backing for the console. I thought it added a nice contrast to the ply.
It's still a work in progress but I'm happy with the results.
I lived with a wall like this and it's dusty and smelly...and not good looking
Hi, I'm a giant palmetto bug (some of you outside of Florida call my relatives cockroaches).
This is a GREAT idea.

Kris Jenner Bikini PHOTO: North West Grandma Flaunts Body in Two-Piece Swimsuit Days After Kendall Jenner
on Sep 16, 2013 11:20 AM EDT
Kris Jenner took to her Instagram account to give summer a final farewell, all while flaunting her body in a bikini.
The 57-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality star, and grandmother of North West, posted the picture of herself waist-deep in a swimming pool with the top portion of her body on display. The blue two-piece showed off her cleavage as she accesorized the pool look with a chunky gold chain.
Her short dark hair is slicked back and her face is fully made up with makeup - black eyeliner, mascara and bright pink lip gloss.
"Last day of summer gonna miss you," Kris captioned the shot.
Comments on the picture included "You rock it Kris" and "Beautiful."
Jenner's picture comes shortly after her daughter, Kendall Jenner, shared a sneak peek of her new ad campaign for Colombian clothing company Agua Bendita.
See Kendall's bikini pic here.
Kendall recently opened up to V magazine about her modeling career.
"I don't think some people take me very seriously," she said. "When I started off, I was way more of a personality in modeling and it wasn't like, what I wanted to be exactly."
"I want to be more high fashion; I want to be more editorial, but hopefully I'll just prove myself," Kendall added.

Scarecrows on parade
As the village parade made its way around the one-way system accompanied by morris dancers, Ding Dong Daddy (he of The Imagined Village fame) prepared to serenade the passing procession with his musician friend. Their tune soared to meet the participants - only for the parade to go down the road instead of past their house, so they ended up playing to the wind.
It would never happen at Glastonbury.
That's about it.

Well I've dragged myself from the depression of the 4 to 0 defeat the Germans gave us this morning at 4.30am our time (just to add illness to injury) to see how the scarecrows turned out. Fantastic photos and gorgeous scare crows - what a talented lot you are in the enchanted village. I'm thinking I'd like to see that Mexican referee beheaded after he sent off one of our main men for nothing. I mean we may have held it to 2 0 but with 10 men we were entirely stuffed as a scarecrow! Not sure World Cup fever will be lasting long in our village!ReplyDelete
hi, just dropping by. your blogs and pictures are really great!. is it okay if we could exchange links?. can i put you in my blog's list and put me in yours? thanx!..=)ReplyDelete
What a creative bunch from your village! Which one is yours?ReplyDelete
It's nice to see the enchanted village also has a wicked sense of humour!ReplyDelete

KERSHAW Lee Central foiled Andrew Jackson's playoff hopes, edging the Volunteers, 26-23 in the final Region IV-AA regular-season football game for both teams Friday night.
The Stallions' win forced a three-way tie among Eau Claire, Lee Central and AJ. The Vols needed a win, or a loss of one-point to the Stallions to advance to the playoffs. Eau Claire will be seeded fourth, while AJ and Lee Central remain at home.
BUFORD Josh Roberts, a second-year starter for the Buford Yellow Jackets at offensive tackle, has used hard work to become a force in the BHS trenches.
"Josh works hard to get where he needs to be," Buford High head coach Mike Wells said.
Roberts knows what it takes to play well as a team.
"It's not one person out there. We have to work together as a team, if we want to win. If we give 110 percent on the field as a team, we can win," Roberts said.
The first Rising Stars at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster tennis tournament was a success.

Research, papers and more here.
1. Catastrophic failure. This document confirms that a natural gas explosion occurred twice -- on May 9, 1996 and May 16, 1997 -- at the Sempra power plant adjoining the high school property. It also shows that the monitoring system was not functioning there.
2. AQMD inspector photos at Venoco. These photos taken in
March 2003 document why the facility was issued Notices of Violation
for leaking equipment at the oil wells. (See AQMD Notices of
Violation, May 2003).
3. AQMD cancer risk for Venoco. The "gold standard" in cancer risk assessments is generally one in one million. That is, only one in every 1 million people will get cancer when exposed to a specific carcinogen over their lifetime. That is considered an "acceptable risk." By contrast, this document from the Air Quality Management District shows that the cancer risk from benzene at Venoco -- 117.1 per million -- exceeds the cancer risk for the rest of Los Angeles, which has the most polluted air of any region in the United States.
4. "Illegal and dangerous water to drink." This 1970 letter was written by the architect overseeing the construction at Beverly Hills High School, where the plumbing on the girls athletic field was installed incorrectly; the girls water fountain was hooked up "industrial" water used for the athletic fields.
5. Ireland letters: On page 2, under October 7, 2003, the
Beverly Hills school district lawyer discusses the the "dual" role
of the environmental consultant, who the students and teachers
relied on for environmental testing at the school but who also was
retained by the defense law firm as an expert witness.
6. Keeler e-mail: February 6, 2003 discovery by AQMD inspector that the oil-and-gas operators are illegally "venting" waste gas on the high school athletic field. (Also Keeler email local file 4909)
7. Kenneth Peters October 1963 letter: troubles at the oil wells date back to 1963, when a transformer fire occurred.
8. SoCalGas Co: Confidential-Trade Secret shows how energy companies (in this case Southern California Gas Co, which is owned by Sempra Energy) refuse to turn over important information for the public to see about the chemical components of their products, such as natural gas. Here, the Air Quality Management District redacted key information at the request of the company, which cited proprietary reasons.
Radioactive iodine use at oil wells:
This October 2003 letter from Christopher Bisgaard, the city of
Beverly Hills defense lawyer in the toxic tort case, illustrates how
the city for the first time acknowledges that Venoco, the oil well
operator, and the school district agree to only use radioactive
I-131 at the oil wells while students are not there during Spring
10. 1974 Standard Oil letter: This letter documents that
Standard Oil promised the city of Beverly Hills and its residents as
much as $50 million in royalties if it could drill for oil at the
high school.
11. Tower of Hope You Don't Get Cancer: An editorial cartoon from the student newspaper, Highlights, Feb 28, 2003 (it's dated 2002, but that's a mistake).
12. Venoco AQMD investigation: April 2003 source testing
of amine unit, showing high benzene emissions
13. Central Plants Inc Toxic Air Contaminants report
14. Emissions report for Venoco
15. Emissions report for Sempra
16. Phylmar draft report: first signs of trouble of indoor portable classrooms in1999; readings for benzene and formaldehyde are off the charts.
17.Chromium emissions from Sempra:
Doctors are worried
about their cars getting pitted.
18. Fudging on fugitives: Venoco's creative computing, approved by AQMD, shows emissions being turned into nothing by way of 30-day averages.

The daughter of the late Oral Roberts is speaking out with memories of her father.
Roberta Roberts Potts talked about her 2011 book at the Broadmoor Retirement Community Tuesday.
It chronicles her life as his youngest daughter.
She says, at times, it was lonely growing up with her famous father gone so much.
But adds that she witnessed the healings of so many right before her eyes.
"A lot of people told me they couldn't put it down," says Potts. "A lot of people said, 'Well, I laughed and I cried,' because it's got some real serious stuff and some real funny stuff. I tell a lot of funny stories on dad."
She remains a practicing lawyer in Oklahoma.
The book is called "My Dad, Oral Roberts" and it's available on amazon.com.

The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
Travelling to London ahead of this weekend's match at Upton Park brings back great memories of last season's double header down in the East End.
I'm referring of course to the League Cup Quarter Final victory and our league win there in the space of three days.
That League win was our 12th game unbeaten (10 of them won) during a terrific spell where we played some wonderful football, and I'm hoping we can now begin to replicate that sort of form following our two successive victories over Bolton and Fulham.
I know we haven't reached the heights of that unbeaten run yet this season but now is the time to believe! (Sounds like I've been watching too much of Barack Obama's election victory!) No, seriously I see this spell of games as our opportunity to consolidate our seventh-placed position. Let's face it we SHOULD be beating the likes of Bolton, Fulham, West Ham, Middlesbrough and Wigan.
Personally I'm not too concerned that we've not played well and won our last two games. Surely that's the sign of a good side? Nobody appears to make too much of an issue when it's one of the so called "big 4" that sneak a win when out of sorts.
It can only breed confidence and you can imagine now how the mood has changed at Finch Farm over the last couple of weeks. That in itself will assist us long term. Ask any ex-pro what winning matches does for the individual and the club. The lift it can give is enormous and I'm banking on it carrying us onwards and upwards over the next few weeks.
While on the subject of confidence we have two strikers who are at opposite ends of the scale. Louis Saha's will have soared following his winner. Contrast that with Yakubu's. Nine games without a goal is a definite barren spell. Time for a change. The Yak has not exactly made a massive contribution over the last few weeks and while taking him out of the spotlight may knock his confidence a little further he has to be big enough to understand that the men in form deserve to wear the shirt.
For me it's Saha to start at West Ham. The other big decision for the boss is who comes in to replace the suspended Fellaini (bet you didn't expect that to be such a dilemma a few short weeks ago eh???). I suspect we may see the return of Tony Hibbert at right back and a move into a defensive midfield role for Phil Neville. Hopefully Tim Cahill's recovered from his late night at the MTV European Musical Awards to prove once again that he's a star on the pitch as well as the stage!
Whatever the starting XI on Saturday I'm confident we can obtain the right result and I'm sure all those travelling to Upton Park believe that too. There you have it, ending on that American theme of belief, it's been their week hasn't it. And a historic one at that.
A win at West Ham won't quite have the same repercussions worldwide but it will once again serve notice to the rest of the Premier League that we're very much up for the challenge!

Three months ago I lost my wife after 51 years of marriage. The song made me cry.
My deepest condolences to all those who have experienced the heartbreak of losing loved ones. I have read every account and every book I can get my hands on about life after death. I believe that our bodies may die but our spirits live on in another dimension so all is not lost after death. I lost my dear grandmother many years ago but feel her spirit so strongly when I listen to Josh Grobans song or when she quietly but reassuringly visits me in a dream. I believe therefore that when my body dies I will see her and all my loved ones again. Speak to your passed loved ones too; I believe they can hear us telepathically. They are our guardian angels now, watching over us and protecting us, until we see them again.
Please pray for me. My grief is so overwhelming tonite. My husband Tom passed away after a one month battle with lung cancer just 10 weeks ago. I have never heard this song before. I can assure all that I will listen to it again and again.
When I read your reply my heart ached for you...I too share the same sad experience...my husband, Jim past away 2 yrs. ago at the same age & circumstances & just as swiftly as your husband Tom....I know how raw your feelings are right now. If I could offer you any helpful information it would be this: "never discount the wonders of your tears, they can be healing waters & sometimes they are the best "words" the heart can speak". God Bless & take care & be gentle with yourself.
Dear Kathy,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved Tom. My prayers are with you. May the presence and comfort of the Lord Jesus be as close as your own heartbeat.
thank you, i needed that
Hours in the emerbency room. Excruciating pain, yet, I calmly awaited.
4 hrs. passed....midnight became 4am.. I remained, quietly still, lying flat
on my hurting back. A young woman, came into the room: black hair, white
long-sleeved shirt, dark levi jeans. She opened my medical chart, then, placed it upon the nearby desk. She came over to the bed, wrapped the blood pressure cuff around my arm. I looked into her eyes. They were the most brilliant blue:
as though the colors of skies and sea were swirling within them. Calmness
filled the room. She signed a form, handing it to me, and as she left: I began dressing to leave for home. Somehow, in those precious moments, I knew she
was an angel. Neither one of us spoke a word, yet, I knew what to do. She was the most efficient "angel nurse." Then, the nurse, who left me alone in the exam
room reappeared and asked, "Why are you hetting dressed?" I explained how
another nurse gave me a release form. "No," she said, "I'm the only nurse
working, tonight."
Thank you for this lovely song. My mother just died on April 14, 2014. This song means so much to me.
Some things are so beautiful that words cannot fully convey the full gift they bring us. David Foster is so talented and Josh Groban has a voice that is so comforting. Thank you for providing this wonderful video. :)
My beautiful husband passed away two weeks ago and the pain is unbearable but I feel him all around me. He had a very strong presence and personality and I know he is with me.
Tonight I feel such sadness.........Angela. My dear husband passed away almost six years ago now. Suddenly after going to bed I just burst into tears ...... sometimes the pain is so unbearable. When I typed a search in my browser this is what I found.......... your comment and the song by Josh ......Where You Are......
This song takes my breath away,,, sooo beautifully worded for our love ones that have left us,,
I loved the song it gave me comfort especially with my son I lost in a car wreck in 2007.
Garry passed away in October, he fought an ugly battle with pancreatic cancer. He was loved by many, friends from his childhood were his friends for life.He was loved by his co workers and students at the trade school he taught.
When Garry lost his battle with cancer, people from different times in his life came to pay their respects, over 300 of his close friends and family came to his funeral service.
Many were friends he met at his Chevy car shows that Garry attended every chance he got. Where he would proudly show his ElCamino and his Camero..(I hope I spelled them right)''
He proudly displayed all the trophies and awards he won throughout his career.He had a wall that he shelved to display them all. His cars were his passion.
Tomorrow, June 14, Dee, his wife is having a celebration of life. She is going all out to have as many friends and family come to show their support.
My husband and I, his parents, will not attend, due to my health issues. But we will be there in spirit all the way from Florida to Connecticut.
We mourn our loss, and this song eases the pain.
Mary...though this reaches you late, know that you have my deepest condolences. The loss of a child should not happen. Your recount of Garry and his life, friends and the many who loved him thru the various avenues they met, reminds me SO much if my beloved father-in-law Bill. He passed in 2009 after a stroke and was from a small town but for 40 yrs. worked at a large factory in a neighboring city. He would never hesitate to stop to help someone change a tire or load their truck. He would take my brother-in-laws dog out for rides & walks daily & eve the ladies at the bank drive thru knew her name. The new couple in town who had bought the filling station knew him...he used to get on his bike and ride thru town, stopping at businesses to chat..that was him. When his obit published with his picture, we had people show up that never knew his name but knew him on sight & came to pay respects to their friend. Coworkers of many, many years ago were there. It was truly the most touching thing to see how a person can touch so many lives...as your Garry did. He was a people person, just like my Dad as I call him now. He and Dad are probably up in Heaven meeting more people, making pals, at peace.
