Selfish

I am thinking about the passing of our brother Desmond.

Today, Christmas reminds me of him and our Lord Jesus and all that we shared along the way.

It is my quarter in the juke box.

No need to listen.

I just want to post it for him.

This is me being selfish.
I figure no one is in the Pub on Christmas.
So I play this for Desmond and myself.

This was our last correspondence, if you wish to see it:
(Some of the emails deleted by his employer)

Eric to (Rush) Desmond
Beloved brother.
You say you are weak.
I think I understand.
I know.
Song for you.

(Rush) Desmond to Eric
Does this song have a specific meaning?

Eric to (Rush) Desmond
It is a final voyage song.

(Rush) Desmond to Eric
(Paraphrased as it was 'allegedly' deleted by the bureau)..
I like this song also.

Eric to (Rush) Desmond
"Go to St.Lucia.
You will instinctively know the place I think.
I will meet you there.🐵

Peace.

Bring a boat.⛵"

And that was it.
Our last words.

Didn't get to meet him.

He then sent the Johnny Cash song.
A day later I received notice of his passing.
A personal final letter that he left for me.
(The bureau 'allegedly' also took this away from me after a few days)

It's all good.

They sent it to me verbatim.

That was good, eh?
