Jackie and I - BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN BBQ 2007 ESTES PARK, COLORADO
Right after the group pics were taken, people were filtering back into the lodge and Jackie yelled at me,
"Trink, Come on, let's get our picture taken together!"
I will be forever grateful for that
(Thank you
Trink for posting this lovely picture!)
It wasn't but a few steps away from the very site pictured in this foto, that I first laid eyes on you dear, dear Jackie; that I first heard your sweet voice call my name as I was searching for Osprey, theBriGuy, John Beene, and a few others that I'd come unannounced to Estes Park to find, embrace, and tell them in person just how much I loved them.
I knew you were going to be there by the guest list that was posted weeks before on the Forum, but somehow, I didn't think I'd actually meet you, but fate made sure I did.
When I turned and got my first look at your beautiful, smiling, sunshine face, and felt the warmth of your heartfelt embrace, joy raced throughout my body!
We said a few words of mutual appreciation and admiration, and then you did something no other brokie did......., you whipped out your copy of 'Beyond Brokeback' and asked me to autograph one of my 2 printed posts. I was so gratified by your simple act of kindness and love, dear Jackie!
I came away from my too brief visit with you feeling truly fortunate to have met you, hugged you in such a warm embrace, and having the opportunity to express to you just how much I thought of you.
It has been said that Love is Eternal, that Love lives forever.
My dear, sweet Sister, please know that you live in my love now, and will do so until the ever-dancing electric impulses that animate my body cease their joyous frenzy.
Beyond that, may we dance the Love dance together in Spirit, before the shining face of God.
You have my Heart forever.
