You know every time I read something of yours, be it posts or what ever, it moves my heart cause I can feel you say nothing but what is on the inside coming out. I don't know Eddie, but I'm sure glad he got to know you. I hope and pray his life is now full of peace and happiness. The same peace and happiness you share with us every day.

God Bless Eddie and God Bless you our sweetest friend.

PS yes, your words still have me crying

Awesome words for a dear friend.....may Eddie rest in peace....

Thanks Ainjel, mg, kristi :-)

Krupa died? or is Eddie someone different? I am lost.

Please don't explain if it's painful to do so. I am quite used to be left hanging without answers. Just ask God.

Krupa still walks on water among us.

Eddie was a homeless man, with mutt,
who lived at the beach.

Every living soul,,needs to have at least one person,,know when their life has stopped here....To think of all the ones who pass,,and have no-one to notice that,,,is so very sad to try and feel that absence, of care.....

Never ventured in this section before...loved this tribute to Eddie Soufie.

I am glad you two were close enough to have that friendship. What a beautiful tribute.

Very nice Sophie
I'm sorry about your friend

I firmly believe he knows you wrote that for him, Soufie. He in my opinion knew when you conceived the words before you typed them. I am sure you had that kind of connection to him.

To thank you all, I will share with you
why I called him Hero.

All Eddie had was his mutt.
He saw that 'Dawn' never went hungry,
even when he did.
He subsisted on food stamps.
He collected cans for cash at the store.

One day a man went to Eddie, an old friend.
He said, 'Come help me unload this storage unit.'
Eddie was always happy to help anyone.
'We have to do it quietly, no one can know.'
Eddie was suspicious.
'Whose unit is it?'
'The less you know, the better' the man told him.

The man offered Eddie whatever he wanted,
as the unit was loaded to the top with prized
possessions of a lifetime.
'Unless you can give me reason, why you do
this without the owners permission,
no thank you.'
And he walked away.
A man without anything.
Could have scored big time.
My unit had everything I owned in it.
The thief later found another homeless
man to help him steal everything.

But Eddie had more class and dignity and
integrity than most people I know.
He always kept an eye out for me.
I sorely miss him.
