Eagle Eye, Mike Andrews, Keeps The Faith with Bear Heart on his 90th
birthday….. April 13th, 2008
On that day, April 13th,
our loved one requested that I take him to a western wear store to get him a
western cut suit, a new suit for his birthday. We already had a sweat lodge full
of people praying for him here at our home so I volunteered to get the suit if
he would stay put! Here is a picture of him with nephew, Mike (above), about an hour
after the request, wearing the new jacket to the suit. I should call it, “Your
Wish Is My Command”.
Little did I know that when the
first “sweat” was over, there would be a second lodge. This time his grandson,
Robert Charcoal, poured the water for his grandpa. Well, for three days prior to
the birthday, Paw-Paw, who was brought up not celebrating birthdays as a special
day, since everyday was a special day, had been putting on his swim trunks in
anticipation of the event. He was ready as usual. He took off the new suit
jacket and luckily I was there to catch it! He was now crawling into the lodge
just like in the ole days! My first thought was that he would sit near the front
door as usual but, NO, he crawled around to, where else, the seat of honor,
across from the door, the hottest spot.
Although pretty silent the whole time, he offered his prayer and stayed for the
entire “sweat”. When it was time to get out, he did have difficulty crawling
back to the front door so we quickly opened the door to the West, where he had
been sitting. His nephew medical doctor, Todd Dixon knew what to do. He
immediately lifted his uncle out of the steaming lodge and put him back in his
wheel chair. What a blessing for me also! I have named this picture (below) “ET CALL
HOME”.I hope that is OK with Mr. Spielberg. .
ET CALL HOME
We not only had a very special
group of people here that day to celebrate but people from all over the country
and Denmark, Norway, Germany, France. Israel and Italy were sending their
prayers. It had been touch and go as to whether Paw-Paw was going to make it to
his birthday but we say Ma-doh to the Great Being that he had a chance to say his own Thank You for his life up to 90 years. In the
lodge, as is his way, he prayed for so many others.
Now we come to another milestone
and that is May 11th, 2008 On this date, also a Mother’s Day, Bear
Heart’s son, Marc Nathan crossed over at the age of 17 years old wearing the
uniform of our country. We are asking, once again, for all of you, those we know
and those who may have just been introduced to Grandfather Bear Heart, to send
prayers this way for him and his family, especially his daughter, Mari D.
Williams-Tobin. We are praying that they may have an easy day of it and continue
to find comfort in their family and with all those who love and support them.
At this time we want you all to
know that we send you good energy and wishes for many more blessings for you and
your loved ones,
All our Relations,
Reginah and Bear Heart
