It is so good to have you back. I was beginning to shy away, feeling a bit too philosphical at times and then you have jarred me back to reality. This entire process is truly a time of reflection; a time to remember; a time reach out; a time to love one another against life's plethora of turmoils throughout the world. Oh, I forgot to mention the sucky gasoline companies making record profits while we struggle to make the myriad of appointments looking for work and healing!
I'm ahead of you on the tears flowing thing. I've already shed a lifetime worth through sharing all the moments with everybody.
