SANTA CLAUS IS COMING: PRESENTS "under the bridge"

I've always wanted a paino. Big item need big tree. lol.

....Badeye.

Badeye Big Boy needs Big Instrument, so Big Tree and Big Piano, or a GUITAR that matches with those trucks, or cars with HUGE TIRES.

That's the real spirit my beloved doll. It is right Lena, isn't it? I am the first to admit that my topic is in fact a VERY about LUXE TOPIC.
But I posted it, because it is a time we can dream loud, and dreams are dreams. It is a time to consider the values in our lives, REFLECTIONS of my life, and you about your life.

Since I am sitting here at home, in 2 days (7th) I will be ALREADY 52, and despite everything, I may consider myself as an happy man. There are lots of things I can't do no more, like going to a concert, and certain where you have to stand right. I miss a lot of things, like no more ski, no ice skating and too much activities I loved.
On the other hand I am real happy.
Happy with all the opportunities I've got, to become a Medical Doctor, despite the fact that in my first year my father died suddenly just before the tests. To be blessed with a fantastic mother, who sacrificed a lot, to give each of us the opportunity to study. I'm blessed having a very good  memory, THAT I could use every day to help others, to use when studying, and so having more than enough time to have a sort of R&R life. Sometimes, it was a curse too, RESTLESS MIND.

I hope that I was a good doc for my patients.
I feel happy to see people and I did every possible thing for my patients. I am happy (and hope these people too) that I could help financially. Also I often (about 50% of all patients) asked a lot less money to people having it difficult, I even wasn't ashamed to give money to some people, like I did a few times, but this I will never forget: giving 200€ to a family with so many debts, they didn't have money for food, electricity shut of, using candles and 4 kids, I never wanted a thank you, and I felt real bad if I didn't help.
If I should mention how much money (= White Penguin, all the $$ together).Yes Doll, there is still a lot, more than you think, poor people, ashamed to go out their doors. I hope I was a good man, despite the bad things. If I should start again, I should probably ACT the same way, maybe not the same profession. That is the spirit of Christmas, analysing your self, happiness making right what was wrong, the value of a family, try to live, even in my condition. I just regret that almost ALL time went to my work and destroying my private life. There is no need for THIS BIG BUSINESS= ALL YOU NEED IS A HEART, WITH LOVE and NO HATE.  THAT IS CHRISTMAS FOR ME. I found HARMONY, STABILITY, only a relation is missing.
But let us dream too. It don't hurt.
I just hope that people will remember me how I was, who I was, I just loved my work. I only wanted the best for "my people"
What I do regret is that my private life was a mess, working 80-90 hours a week, my daughter grew up and will be 20 years at Christmas, and I wasn't there for her. You can't turn back the time. Am I a liar? Am I a bad person? because I didn't give her enough time? After my divorce, she was free to go, in stead of "THE EVERY 2 WEEKS I HAVE TO SEE HER PROBLEM" she and me we had other solutions, I have seen MORE THAN ENOUGH while working.

Doc,
There are many professions out there that have a high divorce rate. Some jobs can distroy a family.
Maybe to cheer you up some, here's a shortened story behind my daughter (Racheal) birth.

The doctor had induced labor on my wife. It was time for Racheal to be born. The doctor and nurses were all in the room. The doctor told a nurse "go get him some gloves, he's going to deliver his daughter." He winked at me, so I thought he was joking. Then the nurse proceeded to tell the doctor, "You can't do that, it's against policy." I'm not sure if the doctor was just joking or he was serious, but when the nurse told him what he was and wasn't alloud to do it just changed everything. The doctor then said' "there's no time for a gown." He pointed at the gloves and told the nurse to get the gloves for me, he then told the nurse that he was the one that was in charge, not the hospital and certainly not the nurses. The nurse put the gloves on me. The doctor told me to hold my hands like I'm praying, I did. He then told me to hold my hands down, I did. He told me to open my hands, I did. " This is how you're going to catch your daughter," he told me. I got into position. I use this as an example; It was like heavan's gates had opened and this little angel flew out. She was crying out to me, "catch me daddy, catch me". I say the baby's head, the head came out, but the baby was stuck at the shoulders. The doctor placed his hands past mine and moved the baby and out she came. She was slipping and slidding and I was screaming and yelling, "help me, someone help me. God don't let me drop her, someone help me." The doctor reached under and lifted up, helping me place my daughter on my wife. He asked me if I wanted to cut the cord. My hands were shaking so bad I was scarred that I would cut my daughter. I told him yes. He placed the scissors in my hands and I cut. The cord wasn't cut all the way through so he repositioned it and this time he had to guide the scissors to complete the cut.

I'm sorry that being a doctor cost you so much.
If in weren't for doctors.
I was the first person to touch my daughter. My face was the first she saw.
My seven year old step-daughter has Cerebal Palsey.
If it weren't for doctors.
My wife was almost killed in a car reck when she was thirteen.

My christmas wish is that you would recieve at least one thank you for a life time of sacrifice. You've sacrificed your life so9 that others would have a life.
So just in case you've never received that thank you.

THANK YOU DOCPHIL!!! THANK YOU for everything you've ever done for anyone. You've sacrificed a lifetime so that others would have a life time. THANK YOU!!!

Old Doll.

I would like world peace under my tree

I would like to be in the position where I would be able to make other's dreams come true. I am such a fortunate and blessed man because whatever state of mind or health I am in I am always love by my GOD! He is alway faithful to me no matter how unfaithful I am to him. I have the greatest gift of all HIS Love. He gave HIS only begotten SON to the cross for me what a beautiful gift have I received!

Blessings to all,
Bootlegger.
