Any one heard from Cisco99

I don't read every post or response but I haven't seen anything from him. Hope all is well.

I am well, DrPhil. I am in hospice, reasonably comfortable. Writing a website for my wife's book these days. i'm writing, but very little. I think the brain fog finally got to me. I can't write down my own ideas! Been talking to a nice chaplain, and we have come up with some tidy explanations for things. Wife taking excellent care of me. Even my son joins in.

Here's my final set of stories:

Some of these poems are achingly gorgeous. Thank you.

Glad you are still hanging in. I think about you, strangely enough, and I will take great pleasure in reading your work. Our combined mental powers will keep you going. Enjoy your time with your loved ones. Peace....

Which one of us drags down the average? It's funny -- in my morphine induced stupidity I can't help thinking of my HU friends of all being in one place, like idaho, or the Mojave. When the truth is, we are just abut everywhere! In my dreams my home is about 12 locks from here. Nuts ... but I remember you.

[Tmetz in reply to Cisco99]

Your poems are wonderful! Thank you for crossing paths with me on our life’s journeys.

Take care, dear friend.

[Cisco99 in reply to Tmetz]

I'm still feeling pretty OK. Blessed to have met so many good guys on my journey!

[Pierreb in reply to Cisco99]

So happy to hear from you Cisco! Glad to hear you are still writing!!

[Pierreb in reply to Tmetz]

I want to echo this sentiment as well!

[MateoBeach in reply to Cisco99]

What a treasure those who drank with such satisfying joy of your simple elegant voice, the authenticity of feelings that give us an instant sense of knowing you. A recognition of our own humanity even in simple shared insights, the vulnerability to pain and frustration. Somehow through your words we feel less alone, unburdened and uplifted. Thank you Frank. You are like a found penny, “Ah! great good fortune”. A treasure we want to keep.

Well put friend.🕊

[treedown in reply to Cisco99]

I will read them all. Thank you, and my best to you and yours.

[Drphil1938 in reply to Cisco99]

We had a rocky start but all is well now and I pray that you are without pain. Know that we all care. Love right back at you.

[Cisco99 in reply to Drphil1938]

I don't remember all that ... onward and upward

Hello Mike Finley,

Nice to see you posting again.... I read your book and thought it was about me until it dawned on me that I was never at Hamline Avenue and St Clair Avenue in this life.... Thank your wife and your son for me...... Keep smiling.... and keep posting....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

You bet, my friend. I thought I was done, but here I still am.

[TFBUNDY in reply to Cisco99]

No rush. I can't go until I find a way to take my motorbike with me.... You just need an impossible 'but wait a bit....' Give the bastard in charge pause for thought...

[ctarleton in reply to Cisco99]

I read all these stories. Got a big chuckle out of "Little Bighorn".

Thanks for just being you, Cisco99. One of a kind!

[LearnAll in reply to Cisco99]

Cisco...Glad that you reconnected with us. You have been an inspiration to many because of your sense of humor in face of adversity. Good wishes .

[Craigslife in reply to Cisco99]

Thank you for posting your poetry. I have really enjoyed reading them, especially about your dog eating your underwear and also about old girlfriends. Our dog use to jump on the bed and spray the pillows when we left him. Hope your feeling no pain and much peace.

Thank you so much for sharing that article.

Hey, your welcome. I've been re-reading his posts, and a bit of research found his "last poems" at: mikefinleywriter.com/pdf/pd...

[noirhole]

Thanks for the update, nice eulogy article. I have not been exposed to much poetry his was complex fun and sometimes dark. I worry we all will pass without much notice even though we have accomplished much as an individual. Fight on brothers!
