Every once in a while a reader of this blog, in this case one
who was also a good friend passes on to better environs.
It recently happened again just last week.
Dan Mulvaney, who also happens to be the son of another
good friend and enthusiastic reader of this blog Ron
Mulvaney, died after a lengthy illness. A devout Christian
and a staunch conservative (and an avid reader of this blog
like his dad), he was raised in the catholic faith.
Dan was a keen student of his faith and shared it with
anyone who wanted to know more about it, and was also
a patriotic fellow, a truly God and Country gentleman
who loved Jesus and the United States so very dearly.
Although I never met Dan in person we did meet online
via Facebook and had nice little conversations together.
Dan also joined me whenever I had a war of words with
a left-winger on Facebook, always covering my flank
whenever the other party had an ally or two join him
(not that I cannot handle multiple opponents in a political
shootout; I've been in such contests many times and always
held my own). Dan so enjoyed PWAP, every bit as much
as his father Ron, who was a tremendous help with my
career over the years as well as an erstwhile liberal-turned-
conservative when American liberalism ventured too far
leftward for Ron's tastes and therefore a fine political ally
who is a great sounding board for my ideas to this day.
Dan, thank you so much for your friendship and fellowship,
both religious and political. It gives me great comfort to
know that you are just a prayer away, and that one day we
shall finally meet when it is my turn to be invited to partake
of God's heavenly hospitality. Thank you in the meantime
for making my life brighter and more wonderful!
Requiescat in Pace.
