I'm not doing the olinne dating thing these days, but I certainly looked at my share of gap-toothed, broke-toothed, no-toothed guys with guts hanging out of their too-small Larry the Cable Guy plaid shirts, with their uncombed, uncut hair and five-o'clock shadows. Winners, all .And then there are the words my God, the words!!! no caps, bad speling, one-line profiles with tired clichés. Yeah, the photos plus those wonderful words are a combo made in heaven, for sure!!!mikkie's last blog post.. Reply:January 27th, 2009 at 9:38 pm@mikkie, Oh, I haven't even gotten into the TEXT portion of the profiles. That's a whole other post. You're absolutely right. Terrible spelling and either no caps or ALL CAPS. Ugh. I can't date a bad speller, either. Unless she promises never to write me notes. Can't see that, either. I love notes.

In recent weeks, when asked how I would describe my father-in-law I would always reply "He is the strongest man I ever knew." We tend to measure strength by a physical presence, or great intellectual acumen, or power and success in the business world. For me, Tom personified a strength far more profound than any of these. He was strong in faith. When one thinks of the proverbial rock of faith, it was Thomas Barnes. His dedication to his church and his humility before God were beyond reproach. He was strong in spirit. There were few, if any, challenges in life that Tom did not meet head on, with determination and resolve. He was strong in his beliefs. Tom was always a passionate and firm defender of his ideals, and if you chose to engage in a debate you would quickly learn to respect his formidable skills. He was strong for his family. To his sisters and brothers, wife, children and grandchildren, Tom gave all of his heart to soul. This was a quiet strength, one that spoke in actions more often than words. For his children, Tom was the kind of father they always knew they could turn to when they faltered. Often by simply slipping their hand into his, it would make everything better. Tom left this world in much the same way in which he lived. With strength and resolve. I believe it's no coincidence that his last day among us was also his birthday. As if to declare defiantly "See, I made it." Heaven's new angel will be a force to be reckoned with, but also have a heart a big as the sky. I will miss his spirited debates, his warm heart and his strong and firm handshake which spoke volumes about his strength and warm heart. I can only hope that I can carry forth in my life that which he demonstrated in his. This would indeed be a great blessing.

life is odd. everything in life good or bad is for a reason . it"s a road that is set out by god for us and we travel it. my road this year has had a few bumps in it. it lead me to Arnprior to be with my parents. this gave me the chance to spend the last 10 months of my fathers life with him. not to many people get that chance. we watched his favorite shows, dr. oz, 60 minutes. saw his last hockey playoffs (he was not a Boston fan) and grey cup together. Tom loved hockey and football, played both for Arnprior. had supper together every night, you would not think it but Dad was a big eater, don"t know where he put it all he had a hard time keeping his pants up. picked weeds together, Tom was not a big gardener, but he loved his lawn, he spent half his life picking weeds. when we were kids he would give us 5 cents a weed, but he wasn"t stupid, you had to have the root with it or you didn"t get your pay. he was always a smart money man, guess he got that from working with the bank for 35 years. or just sitting and talking. i would not have traded these moments for anything. when i do these things in the future dad i know you will be there with me. i love you and miss you Dad. i could not have made it through the last year without you. i love you and miss you. your son Joel.
