About thebows99krug

Hi, I am Eric, a retired librarian. I was born in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto and raised in the downtown area north of the Art Gallery, south of the University of Toronto. I went to Orde Street Public School, Harbord C.I., University College at the UofT and the UofT's Faculty of Library and Information Science. I meet my wife Patricia at FLIS; our first date was on November 15, 1968. We were engaged February 14, 1969 and married on June 21, 1969. Our family includes son, James; daughter-in-law, Erin; (both writers), grand-daughters, Vivian and Eleanor; and Sonic, a very friendly ginger tabby. My beloved wife died January 7, 2017 and our 19 year old cat Pooka died January 8, 2017. I would like to hear from any other class of '63 alumni of Harbord C.I. and class of '67 alumni of UofT's University College.

January 7, 2017 is like no other day! Pat died this day!


Who ever Pat was, she still is! I am one with Pat; Pat is one with me. We still are the One God made us when He joined us together in marriage. Death is not an end but a beginning; … Continue reading

The Tree of Life


Last night I saw a Tree of Life diagram you had created matching my special life moments with yours. It was based on the wonderful; evolutionary relationships of our life in union as One. I was on the Gospel side … Continue reading

The love within


Bidden or unbidden, God suddenly appears, and mind suddenly stares into the void and sees. There is a light of recognition that shines deep within that suddenly appears at the end of the tunnel of darkness. When you empty your … Continue reading

I am one with my beloved spouse


What am I? What in me is aware of me? I am who I am. Interestingly that is what God says about himself. And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say … Continue reading

The Nativity Story


A thought: what if the angel Gabriel planted the seed but Joseph fertilized it. It would answer a lot of questions I have.  The prophecy says the Saviour will be of the house of David; Joseph is of David’s line … Continue reading

Oh Death, Where is thy sting?


We are the emptiness at the centre of the universe holding all together giving witness to its self-disclosure. We were created so that the universe could know itself. Man is the answer to the universe’s “Why?” We reach from the … Continue reading

One with each other and God


Jesus teaches that man and wife are to become “one flesh” (Matthew 19:6) When we marry two souls become one. A presence is formed in each other. Each feel that they can face anything as long as the other is … Continue reading

Yes we still LOVE!


It happens more often now. I catch a glimpse of you out of the corner of my eye or with my mind’s eye. You speak to tell me a family truth or about something that has pleased you, some day … Continue reading
