“I Did Learn, to FLY Back Home”
Some times in LIFE … You have it made in the shade!
When you are a very small child… you just never know when and or why…. someone is picking you up … and then…just so fast, and all of a sudden… you are now flying in that high sky above you, and most of those… sometimes… in the strong arms of your Father!
I do believe that when you are still a very small and young child… you get those extra special feelings of LOVE from those extra special people in your younger years.
As you can see in the above photo … my DADDY… has just the most strong arms of all of the arms that did pick me up…that I know of and as I remember, he did like me the best of those in household… because I was just born… and the newest member of the family … it seems to me that everybody loves new born babies!
My Dad was a retired Officer and Detective from the Saint Louis Police Department. Since he was shot several times and almost died…he took a retirement after twenty years on the force.
So nothing special to to do, my Uncle Albert Aldrich, Dad’s younger brother, who was associated with the “Dobbs House” restaurant people wanted to start building in the Florida area, and so my Daddy and Uncle AL got together … working out a plan of work in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area… and would you believe… that I was born in the Hospital across the street from where DADDY was working.
Our lives have been planned by our Creator and in each of our lives there is a certain part of our history to be made.
If my father had died when he was last shot… which it did look like, that was going to happen… my children would not have had a chance to be born and those wonderful and beautiful GRAND CHILDREN…. that I have since received… would not be here either?
We do not know, all of the wonders that are to take place in our short lived lives… and are here to but wonder and try to figure out what is going on, but at the very same time… try to live a Life of LOVE, giving to ONE another… so, that one day, we also may be received into Heaven… that place where we will receive all the answers to those very many questions that we have, when we leave this place… called EARTH
We are all so very LUCKY… to have received that chance to be here on EARTH… even if … it is only for a very short time… as we do not hear of anyone living as long as Moses did, age 120 years.
But, what we should do is… read the BIBLE and study the book section where Moses did receive from our Creator the “Ten Commandments” and try to obey them, as we all know that to be here on EARTH… is just a temporary trip for us to make and if… a very big if…
… we have done our duty to our Creator and also to each MAN on this EARTH… we can for sure know, that our mission in LIFE on this EARTH was completed … according to that plan for each of our Lives!

“The REALM of AERO” by AL R. ALDRICH
Sometimes, I think that everyone would like to write a book.
The most surprising thing about writing a “BOOK” is when your very own son, Al R. Aldrich will tell you … that he has written a book… so NOW, you can hardly believe your ears… and stop to think, when and where did he get all of the time needed, for such a project as writing a “BOOK”… one does need hundreds of hours and or more hours to write, and now you are wondering about all of that “TIME”… that he would have had needed… such a large and available amount of time… so then… you start asking him…. “What is it all about?”
When your son will take the time to tell you all about this project of writing a very special “BOOK” and also, that he wrote it, himself… you just have to sit down and let your son go into all the great details of writing a book and then… so nice and sweet, he tells you , that you are also included in the book.
Now you sit yourself so nice and comfortable, while you start to look through the new book, that your son has just handed to you. As you are looking through the book, your son is telling you about different parts of the book … and then tells you to turn to a certain page and kind of just try following him as he tell about the ideas before he wrote the book, and then he appears to be in another realm … as he continues with some of the story!
This is just the best of times you have with your son, AL as he is enjoying himself too, he knows of somethings that had happened to me, so many years ago, and by changing the names and the circumstances just a little more this way and that… hee has you reading and reading … and as you are reading … you are also in that land where you will find more excitement and in such exciting ways…
I just can hardly believe, that which had happened so very many years ago, is now written for so many to read and enjoy… and enjoy for ever more!
In the above PHOTO you see our “AL” sending autograph and signature as requested by persons sending for copies of his “BOOK AEROS”.
Also a note : AEROS: PRONOUNCED (Air-OHS)
There are several printings of the “BOOK” … and another that I like … has the title … “The REALM OF AERO”
Over a period of years “AL” has written several books … because there is so much in SPACE and TIME that we do not know about and each of his books has so much more good and also new usable information for all of the family to enjoy reading together and then talking about all the different parts of the these books and there is… personal information that will help each and every reader to enjoy all of this world and our outer space… as each of us, has our own journey through time and space and we all need new little tidbits of information to help make our lives so much more exciting in our travels!
Tonight at the Dinner Table … when all are seated … and when one of the Dinner Guests asks permission to speak… about the book that he had just read, “The REALM of AERO”… some will stop eating and for awhile… all of the things you are now hearing will tickle your ears, as all of the family, stops their eating and is NOW … all listening for more and more about “AEROS”!

“Ruby, YOU are the one I LOVE”
“Ruby… Ruby you are the ONE!”
“Ruby … Ruby you were expected to be born on your “MOM” and my Birthday the 9th of January… What in the world happened… that you decided on a couple of days later?”
I now believe that you may have known that I would not be here forever… and if all of our Birthdays were on the very same date each and every year… there would have in some time to come, some very sorrowful sadness, when it came to celebrating all of our Birthdays and I, your good old GRAMPS… himself, was no longer here to help make our BIRTH DATE… just the very best and the most FUN day of the year… and for so many years to come in the future… let me just say forever!
I just feel NOW… that you… our little RUBY was given this information before you came to our family… and when you got to thinking about the TIME here together and then for a short time… that for the happiness of all of the family and friends… it would be so much better for you… to delay your coming into this great big world… with your MOM and DAD … standing by waiting and just expecting you… their little “RUBY” any minute… which you decided on a definite couple of days.
When you think about a change in dates, at first we were all disappointed… but YOU, our little RUBY knew, that she was making the right decision for all the family… that some day down the short road… someone would put two and two together .. and figure out all of these things… just so in LIFE for all the family… would now know and also be able to sleep soundly at night, not worrying over something that had no explanations… for anyone here on earth!
Sometimes in LIFE… we do not always receive that which we would like to receive, as sometimes like we see on that “TV” program that there are a selection of three (3) items to pick.
When we receive a chance to pick the best ONE out of the three… we will have to be forever satisfied with that choice that we had made.
Sometimes after we have made a choice in the things, that will be happening in our lives … we soon find that the choice that we made was either so RIGHT and or in some very sad cases … so very wrong!
As so in our LIFE… we make a wrong choice, and we see ourselves suffering for the rest of our lives and also… some times there are friends and or sometimes immediate family that end up suffering, too!
We can really make a difference in what we are about to do ,… if … we will “Pray “about the situations and problems that are occurring NOW… and or about to happen, if we do not start making the correct moves and changes in our LIVES!
We all know that … that HIGHER POWER, has control over all that HE has created with a very specific plan for each and everyone that HE also created… and to each, He gave a plan that would for sure work best for them… and also for that, and each person and every generation to follow … here on EARTH!

“To My DADDY…from Alyssa”
When I ran across this “Father’s Day Card” and from little Alyssa – – some years ago – – everyone knows that if something lands in my “hands” – – it will be saved… forever!
For “Father’s DAY” this JUNE 17th, 2018 – – I am posting for “FATHERS” everywhere – – if you did not receive a card – – consider this card for YOU, too!
When I read these words on this card – – when I found it among lots of old mail and cards – – just thought that these words were so nice for a FATHER to read – – and know that his child LOVES him and also thinks that these words apply to him and his children… today!
… Left inside of card message….
and Right inside of card…
The best part of a card – – for whatever the occasion… is the personal message that is added and in the sender’s own handwriting – – that really tells the story of LOVE – – better than any printed words – – even if they come from the best of the “card companies” – – It is the message from the HEART of the SENDER – – that is worth millions!
“And of course – – these messages and writings are from ME – – and as I say – – in “MY BOOK” – – which means to the world – – if YOU do not agree – – that is your prerogative!”
“May the Almighty Creator that gave FATHERS and Mothers the good children that they receive – – continue to BLESS each of HIS creations this FATHERS’ DAY – – with extra special BLESSINGS!” D.V.
