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.

Posted on April 24, 2019 by thebows99krug

In the early stages of grief we barely care about anything because the worst has happened. We walk in darkness. Eventually, if we believe, that empty hole around our heart is filled with the Presence of our beloved and we … Continue reading →

Joined together in the sight of God!

Posted on April 8, 2019 by thebows99krug

To love someone “in God” is to love them for their own sake and not for what they do for me. Soulmate love is agape not erotic love. Agape love is selfless, sacrificial, unconditional love. It is the highest of … Continue reading →

More than life itself!

Posted on April 2, 2019 by thebows99krug

Patricia Bow and I were in union with God from the very beginning. We just had to recognize that there is an absolute, eternal union between God and the soul within all of us and in everything. As Paul says we … Continue reading →

Blessed to find my soulmate

Posted on March 29, 2019 by thebows99krug

God, the love within you, is the bonding process of soulmates. God makes the soulmates One with Him and each other. A soulmate relationship is what C. S. Lewis meant when he urged Vanauken to strive for “God and us.” … Continue reading →

Love is all you need

Posted on March 25, 2019 by thebows99krug

Patricia and I were sort of Hippies when we met. We believed in “make love, not war” as a road to a gentler more peaceful, caring life.  You didn’t say Love, you lived it. Those who spoke, didn’t Know, those … Continue reading →
