Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Lindsaygirl]

Hi wanda
I was wondering about linda latey. What did elvis see in linda?? I know she was special when they were togther, but than ginger came along and he was in love with her, and asked her to marry him. I guess l don't see why he didn't ask linda since she was there for 4 years, and asked ginger so soon after they met??

Dear Lindsaygirl

Unfortunately, as Wanda has problems with her computer at the moment I'm not quite just now when she will be able to reply to your question, sorry to say. Sure hope Wanda will be able to come back as soon as she can as is so much missed at ELC!

[MaryInTheMorning]

She most definitely is missed dear Sue!

[Rainbow Light]

Yes, indeed Wanda is missed but thanks to Laurie within another section of the forum, the news that she should be able to be with us once again within the next few weeks when her computer's fixed is certainly good!

[MaryInTheMorning]

Most definitely good news indeed my dear friend!!

[Wanda June Hill]

Hi, using Starla's laptop, please excuse mistakes as it's sooo different.
Iappreciate being missed! BUT you all I miss sooo much! I feel lost out here in oblivian!
Lindsaygirl, he wasjust separated when he met Linda who was cheerful, fun and being from the south understood him pretty well. He said it helps when they speak the same language-meaning his southern -isums. She was his type, liked what he did, was religiousand she was still a "goodgirl" which wasa plus in his world. They were very much in love, but she knew he wasnot over the other one and maybe never would be and he was so restless, he felt he was preventing her from going on with her life and whenhe knew he wasn't well, he began "cheating" and letting her know it so she'd leave and he could be the 'cad" and wouldn't have to sendher away. Hemet Ginger about then too, and she reminded him of the good times with the other one, his "Cilla" and he was trying hard to get that back. But one of hisfriends calledit to his attention howshe looked so much like Pris at that age etc: and Elvis immediately began backing off.
I know he was in love hethought but like his friend Larry says inhis book, Elvis did tend to wear his heart on his sleeve...he was though, he even admitted, trying to get back those good days when everything was wonderful and he was so happy. He just became too beat down by all the problems with hishealth and too, Elvis was one who didn't like being told what to do, and who thought hehad to be strong for everyone. It was too much. But he still loved love, and being in love was something he liked, it made him feel good, gave him hope and he neededthat. Ginger was young, he felt young women didn't get "hurt" by him as much as they could pick up and go on to some one else-where as older women had family, jobs etc: and couldn't just come staywithhim. I think he did the besthe could, he tried not to hurt anyone of them, and he gave them all so much, spiritually as well as gifts. It says a lot that so far women from his past have all said he was wonderful, kind, generous and warm hearted as well as spiritual and generous with anything he had. And they stayed friends with him-that too me says just about everything.
I don't know when I'll be back on here. So be goodand have fun you all.

Hey, Wanda, it's so good to have you back, even for a short time! Your especial energy is very much needed here, thou you are always present somehow. Besides, you permanently try to keep the balance in your comments and appreciations about Elvis and you have set "the tone" very much. ...And I love you, my friend, just for being YOU.

And they stayed friends with him-that too me says just about everything.

Yes, this is an important point you are signalling there, Wanda. That quality Elvis had -and Kathy Westmoreland also mentioned- to mend whatever could happen between him and some of the people he had a close relationship with. He made great efforts to save their friendship above everything else. Again, his acts speak of his LOVING soul.

Hope to have you back soon, with your computer at full function and your merry heart with motors running.

AMEN to everything you have said here dearest Amanda! Wanda you have been missed and you are most definitely loved! Thank you so much my friend for your very insightful and heartfelt explanation/answer to Lindsaygirl's question. I can assure you that we will have fun, but no promises on the "being good" part though! I think Elvis could appreciate us being a little bit naughty every once in a while.

...and yes, it's great to get a message from Wanda again!!!

[Rainbow Light]

How great to hear from Wanda once again and thanks as always to her wonderful posts!

Lindsaygirl, I think you will also find it insightful if you check out page 70 of "We Remember, Elvis", where Wanda talks about Elvis' relationship with Linda.

Thanks for your help to Lindsaygirl, Laurie!
