TWO YEARS TODAY!!That's right, go ahead
and let the UNIVERSE know big SISTA, that's
1,051,200 min sober yeah we're countin
WITH YA! Raise your arms, leap, feel free to
shout a SCRIPTURE, crowds clapping, joyful
smiles and tears, NOW PLAYING " DAWN'S
DAY" A Paramount PICTURE... The past and
all the uncontrollable, irresistible, impractical
disease infected moments are
WITHDRAWALABLE, they are erasable, no
longer noticeable and you have shown ALL
OF US THAT NO MATTER HOW LOST YOU
FEEL"LIFE IS indeed RETRIEVABLE" Disease
and ADDICTION are SURVIVABLE, It's not
easy cuz those overemotional thoughts
are so easily MANIPULATABLE, and attack
every weakness to breakdown your guard
trying to convince you that those cravings
are simply IRRESISTIBLE! But exactly
63,072,000 seconds ago you Dawn-ster
stood up to that MONSTER, took your life
back, STOPPED LIFE'S FORECLOSURE! You
recalculated and refinanced the interest and
showed STRIFE, took down the for sale sign
put a hold on moving on to the AFTER LIFE!

Grandpa showed me the way to
get things done and how to do
them right, he showed me how
to make a knot but i could
never get it quite as tight. He
showed me how to splice a
board to support a shaky beam,
he taught me how to get that
row boat easily upstream. He
showed me how to be polite
and to act with dignity, showed
me that respect and honor go
one and one with common
courtesy. He told me to have
Pride and honor in all the work
I do, do it right the first time
and it will surely repay you.
You have to sacrifice in life to
get the things you want, keep
your wants last put your family
out in front . Always take two
steps back before that one
ahead, don't stress about
material things you can't take
them when your dead. I only
started realizing how right he
was as I grew into a man,our
lives pass by so fast like air
through his homemade blower
fan. I wish I had just one more
week with him or even just one
day, maybe do his metal runs,
junk a car and maybe hear him
say, I had that once "took exlax
"then adjust his hat with his
thumb and index finger, look at
someone smile shake his head
and say "humdinger", maybe
hear him whistle an old tune
that I'd never heard, sit on the
porch in the morning with him
while he mimicked every bird,
go trim some trees, cut some
weeds, maybe dig some more,
the list of things to do never
shortened that's one thing I
know for sure ! He was a family
man who knew what life was all
about, he worked hard so his
family wouldn't have to go
without. He helped and helped
oh yeah and then he helped
some more, never turned his
back, wide open is how he kept
his door. Your hungry then
come eat we have plenty is
what he'd say, then give
someone his money for the bill
they couldn't pay. But most of
all the greatest thing my
grandpa's ever done, was ask
my Grandma Shirley if she
would be the one? I don't know
exactly how they met or where
they went on their first date,
but I know one thing for sure
this was no accident a Love like
this is Fate. I guess I
underestimated the power
LOVE can hold, I witnessed it
recently it was worth more
than any amount of Gold.
Grandpa loved You Grandma he
fought so very hard to stay, he
knew he'd get one more Eskimo
kiss if he could make it just one
more day. I'm telling you first
hand at night he laid there so
very still, but when you walked
into the room magic is all that
u could feel. I know he's up in
heaven driving through a small
ol country town, looking for the
perfect place to settle his family
down, I'm sure it'll be near
some water a quiet place where
the view is really nice, he'll
gather up those with him and
start building the second
Claibourn's Paradise. He'll have
a big jug of water filled with ice
to the brim, smiling and
working with loved ones all
surrounding him. No more pain
no more strain, no more clear
plastic pill dividers, now he's
relaxing working a crossword or
showing people how to make
those paper airplane gliders. He
loved his kids so much
endlessly I'd say, he tried his
best to be there even on the
darkest day. I could go on and
on about my Grandpa there's
so much more to say, these are
only my thoughts imagine the
countless others in this room
today. I Love you Grandpa,
Grandpolio and thank you for
being you, I hope one day I can
be a legend to my family too.
See ya when u get there....
Love ya Grandpa,
Neil Thirstrup

Neil Thirstrup Poem
"MY LOVE"
Who is the one beside me
holding up my weight? Always
there no matter how much is
on her plate! Her hair so pretty
with that shiny Auburn gleam,
her eyes a soothing brown with
a perfect shade of green. Her
smile so big and bright it
lightens up my day, I love to
see her approaching me and
also walking away:). Her spirit
sparkles her personality is
addictive, she's got me all
wrapped up my heart so
constricted! Her voice can calm
me it soothes my achy ears,
the way she looks at me takes
away my weary fears. She
knows me better then I even
know myself, she worries about
my well being watches over my
health. She's knows the man I
am knows when something's
wrong, can read me like a book
remember my words just like a
song. She even knows what
size shoes I wear pants and
shirt, her memory so keen
she's always so alert. I still get
butterflies when she touches
me, I am so very lucky she said
yes when I went down on one
knee. Her parents led her thru
life definitely raised her right,
her morals are firm, faith is
strong and for her family she
will fight. It was fifteen years
ago that I asked her to be my
lady, five years later after that
God blessed us with a baby !
Instantly I knew the mother
she would be, she didn't want
to put him down held him close
constantly. Four years later we
decided ones just not enough,
if the second one is like
Chandler it wouldn't be so
tough. Again God blessed us
and sent our second little boy,
Caden came into this world our
2nd bundle of joy!! Our boys
have got to be the luckiest
brothers on planet Earth, cause
God chose her to be the woman
who gave them birth. She's a
woman now the one who holds
my heart, she grabbed it and
squeezed it at hello, owned it
from the start. The saying " she
loves me like Jesus" is how she
makes me feel, I can feel it
thru her eyes my soul knows its
for real! Hollie Thirstrup, that's
her name, my one and only
Love, My very bestest friend,
my wife, my angel from above!
I hope she knows that still
today she makes my heart
race, can still make me blush
you know bright red turns my
face! I will be by her side til
death do us part, theres
absolutely nothing that will
keep us apart. If I leave this
earth before you just
remember one thing, my love
for you is endless keeps going
around like a ring! I LOVE YOU
HOLLIE! WITH ALL OF MY
HEART AND I WILL FOREVER
AND EVER THRU ETERNITY
AND STILL THEN SOME!
Love,
ME

Neil Thirstrup Poem
Road Trip
Roaring motor, full tank of gas,
candy paint covered the car,
Odometer reset, shades on, the
wheels shining like a star.
Another mission we're on
without a phone, no GPS,
Didn't matter where we were
going, ain't got no worries-zero
stress!
Throttles down, top is dropped,
wind blowing through our hair,
Racing thru the turns and
traffic, passing with no care!
In due time we'll make it,
arrive to our destination,
Properly revise our plan and
find the nearest gas station.
