What Is Lonnie's Room?

There is a room in our home to which I navigate more frequently than the others. It makes me feel secure, it is cozy, and it is quiet. From the peak of the room, there is a large rusty metal angel suspended by a very thin wire. It would apear as if the angel is hovering over me, protecting, and always present. The lighting in the room creates a virtual display of dancing shadows around the angel.

Every evening when I am in "MY ROOM", I think of what Luciano de Crescenzo once said, "We are all like one-winged angels. it is only when we help each other that we can fly."

THE TEN GALLON HAT!

In the Old West, the Ten Gallon Hat represented the "Boss of the Plaines".  We held respect for the man who wore a cowboy hat because that seemed to show that he was an authoritative figure, a hard worker of the land, and one who fought for what was his.  Even today we relate to people by the hat they wear.    

  • We have a serviceman's hat... he is brave and strong in protecting our country while leaving his family to do so.  
  • The policeman's hat... protecting our state, county and towns to keep us safe, while leaving his family to do so.  
  • The Surgeon's cap... performing an emergency surgery a 2 am to save a life, while leaving his family to do so.  
  • The Farmer's cap.... working diligently to feed the country, while leaving his family to do so.
  • The Hard hat.... utilities working through the night so we may "see light", while leaving their families to do so.
But, none so great as the chemo hat...worn by the bravest, fighting for life, so that families do not have to be left at all.

"Hats Off" to those who sacrifice so much for others
