When I saw details of Charlie's recent heart attacks, and need for surgery, and so on - part of me thought, "Don't make him suffer in ICU - perhaps, it's time for him to go home to God"
It felt callous of me, yes, but these lives of ours are not meant to be forever.
I have lots of excellent memories of Charlie (and his cookies), and I hope to see him again, some day, on the other side. Until then, the best way I can remember him is to carry forward the positive parts of his legacy.
