The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used "Forgive Your Enemies" as his subject. After a long sermon, he asked how many were willing to forgive their enemies. About half held up their hands. Not satisfied, he harangued for another twenty minutes and repeated his question. This time he received a response of about 80 percent. Still unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes and repeated his question. With all thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly man in the rear...BadBobby.
"BB, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
To which BB replied, "I don't have any."
The pastor said, "I'm sorry, BB, but that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Almost ninety-five."
"Then, BB, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person can live to be nearly ninety-five, and not have an enemy in the world."
The Ol' Feller tottered down the aisle, very slowly turned around, smiled and said:
"It's simple enough. I've out-lived all the sons-of-bitches."
Amen to BB, at 95 he has proudly outlived most of his friends also , it’s sad to say but true.

Observing BB over the years inspires me.
His life provides a treasure trove of offbeat stories...all true.

Starting to get what that feels like - have lost three of my best friends
and two younger siblings since
2012 - it doesn't get any easier as more and more are left behind,
either ! Have always wondered if longevity was truly a blessing or
a curse - maybe it's true that only
the good die young ? All my former
friends and siblings WERE younger
than me !
I’m with you there Big A. In the short period of 6 months I lost 2 of my very best friends and both of my younger brothers; my baby bro at only 40. Sometimes life sucks and you ask “what’s next, can it get any worse?”. Not a good thing. Sorry for your losses. Blessings and may God be with you.
Thanks ! Mine came in 2 stages -
youngest brother and best friend about 3 months apart in 2012, then lost a younger sister and two good friends between March and Sept.,
2016 !

That's great BF. The ones after I'm so sorry for your lose. I've lost a great friend that I started kindergarten with not too long ago and it is tough sometimes you just want to text them call them talk to them and you can't. Let alone just go out an take a ride an have a beer with them and look at the beautiful countryside but you can't. ITS HARD MAN I DONT CARE WHO YA ARE. NIGHT
