Wow this sure is amazing and wonderful reading!!
Thank you Sue for bringing this back up!!

He sure had guts asking how long his life span would be. I really don't want to know about mine. Does anyone think that with Elvis knowing his lifespan that he may have just given up in disgust with all that was going on or not going on in his life? God, I get the willies each time I think about how his last minutes have been described. I hate knowing that he suffered and may have tried to crawl towards the bathroom door for help. It just makes me want to cry whenever I think about it. I do find solace in the fact that he is now at peace and in the loving arms of all who loved him.

Some of the things that were said may describe why he had such a hard time sleeping and slept fitfully when he did sleep. I don't know if it was such a good thing for him to know those things because he was such a sensitive soul. He may have dwelled on it quite a bit.

I don't think he dwelled on it in terms of dreading or fearing etc;, but he did try it seems to me, to fill his days with doing what he felt he should, especially for others. He was a hard worker, film makers/directors all say he was on time, new his lines and was ready to work. That he was thoughtful, wanted to do good, took direction well and had good suggestions of his own but always asked for their opinions and didn't push his weight a round. The people he worked with found him delightful, kind and generous and funny, most never expected what they found him to be, he was always more than any one expected (even I was blown away by how different he was than what I imagined he'd be and all of it in good ways. I wouldn't have believed it if had someone just told me-but he was a very good guy, all the way through; sure he had a wicked sense of humor and loved to shock people for fun, what's wrong with that. It just made him fun, that's all. And one quickly saw that he was just having fun. It was a great way to "break the ice" and as he'd put it, "get the awe out of the situation", meaning he didn't like being "different" in anyone's idea of him- he was just "ol' Elvis" and nothin' more"... It was just what he did for a living that was different...uh-huh.
Anyway, as for the stories of what happened and etc:...we can only guess... there are so many versions that is about the only thing we can do. I think when and if he realized it was his time to go, he went happily and quickly. He never feared death that I know of, but looked forward to "going home" etc:.
I just wish that he could have had a few more friends around him, people who liked doing the things he enjoyed and who were truly interested and not as he put it, "stayin' because I pay 'em". He was a bit "jaded" at the end, but still had hope and plans to make some changes if he had the time.
Elvis truly did "burn himself out" I think, he put more into living than most people do who live a lot longer. Anyway, my grandmother would say, "into each life some rain will fall, we just have to keep planting those seeds to get more good things" and I sure think Elvis planted a lot of them! All over this world and it's people!
Bye,
wjh

Me too

I do agree also, dear Wanda!

Nobody that didn't work his soil with loving care, could have growing such long-term fruits! It's my impresion that his Light brought life to Love in many, many of his actions and its consequences, that still remain today, still growing...

(Excuse me dear friends, if I come in and out the Forum like a ghost. Know that I love you!)

Hey Amanda How Are You Girl? Now I have to ask something here about Laura said, an that is about these so called last minutes that Elvis had. I to have read this before, now which way was it? Its been said that Elvis was found dead by Ginger, and Joe Espostio. Now someone had to be in the bathroom with Elvis to know how his last minutes were Right? So which way was it? If somone was in he Bathroom with Elvis and God For Bid seen Elvis Crawling to the Door for Help! What did they do just stand there and let him Die? Know I Truly Believe that it is all a Great Big Cover Up to the Real Truth, and we have talked about the Real Truth on here before.
