Goodbye, Uncle Tom

My great uncle Tom passed away Monday. I’m not sure if that’s fitting or ironic as he was a veteran WWII and the Vietnam War. He got a 21 gun salute at his funeral. We got to see family that hasn’t been to the Mid-West in over a decade at his funeral. Lots of catching up.

Uncle Tom was one of the few Rushes to actually die of old age instead of cancer or medical complications.

So I’m not going crazy!!!! I knew I had seen those sequences before!

The words “shams” (sun) is feminine, and “qamar” (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women
