Bear,
I awoke in the middle of the night, and my thoughts ran to you. I had tried to email you over the last few weeks, and called you, but got no response. I wondered. I got the idea to check the obituaries, and there you were. Now I knew.
Youve crossed over. Youve joined Dot. My dear ole friend, its three in the morning. Im here at the computer, my animals curled up at my feet, with a flood of memories flowing over me.
You, my friend, were one of a kind. Heaven knows, you made me want to pull my hair out at times. Remember my ole converted chicken coop rear-residence I lived in when you met me? Wed met at a bar on Colfax Avenue in Denver. You were the only man that was a gentleman, and you asked me out. We made plans, but you didnt show, and called with an excuse I had a hard time believing but it turned out to be true. Your car had been totaled just sitting in front of a house where you were visiting. Some guy had come around the corner, drunk as a skunk, and smashed it to smithereens. Funny, some years later, I actually rented that house for a spell.
Remember Rambo Tactics? Yes, you do! Well leave that one between you and me. Remember when I was finally ready to get a puppy, to have a dog once again? You went with me to the Dumb Friends Animals League in Denver, and I found Jason? We took him up into the mountains to play in his first snow.
Oh, my dear, sweet friend. Tears run down my face when I think of the shock you had a couple of years ago when Dot, your wife passed so suddenly, and so tragically. Then you started having your health problems after. Though I will miss you so very much, I know your body had just given out. One day, my time will come too. Be there for me?
Heres a big ole Bear Hug for you!!! I will see you again, in time. You and I had a very special friendship here on this earth, which stood the test of time, while so few do. You are in my heart, always.
Love, Tami
P.S. If I am reaching Bears mother, brother, son, daughter-in-law, Dots children, Gin, Gins sister any of you, know that I would welcome contact from you. Bear was a significant man and friend in my life. I will remember him every day. As a side note, I hope that Bear & Dots cat found a good home. There were times he said that animal kept him connected.
Love, and in all good things, remembrance.
Tami

I wrote last night, actually early this morning, having found that Bear had passed on through an obituary search. His actual name was Martin Henry Nee III. The one thing I didn't do was leave my phone number. I had just left my email address. My phone number is 785-271-8774 here in Topeka, KS. I would really love to get a call from any family or other friends. I am concerned that I was yet able to leave a message on his cell phone just a few days ago, and his regular phone was busy all the time. Please call me. I would welcome it.
