mocha latte for Neal
If any of you remember this and are so inclined . . . it always means so much to me when I know that you're remembering with me, even though you didn't know him IRL. It feels sort of like you all went through it with me and today's the anniversary.

Actually, every time I have one, I think of him. Too late for me today, but tomorrow I'll make a point of getting one.
Re: mocha latte for Neal
Fifi,
I'm away on spring break with my family. Every year I remember vividly the day you posted about your son because of the timing with spring break. I'll happily pay it forward again this year and may this tradition for Neal never die on NOM.
May you continue to find peace.

I think of him when I grab one, too. ((hugs))

Fifi - Thinking of you, and I do remember the day you posted about Neal. Sending many hugs to you, and I'll be glad to have a mocha latte in his remembrance and in his honor -- and yours. I honor your both. Take care, blessings from Wndr.

I’m a backslider, but I will raise my Mountain Dew to Neil. Here’s to the memories.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Done. I think about you and your family often. Internet hugs.

Missed this post yesterday, but I'm adding a little Stephens white chocolate to my coffee right now and raising my cup to Neal!
Cheers!

At the halfway home. I'm a full-grown man. But I'm not afraid to cry.
Re: mocha latte for Neal
I hope a cappuccino counts today. Best to you, Fifi!

Re: mocha latte for Neal
Honestly not sure if this is coincidence or the spirit. I drink lattes all the time. For some strange reason I felt like a mocha latte yesterday. Your post years ago got me on a kick, but generally I am not a chocolate guy. That said, yesterday it was a mocha latte for me. Apropos i guess, serendipity?
No, I am sure it was for Neal! Sending eternal love and good vibes his way!

I just saw this thread. I remember. It's too late for me to have one now, but I will have one tomorrow in his honor, even though it will be a bit late. <3
