The Rain
posted 11 months ago | 0 comments
Tonight for the first time in forever, I heard the rain. I walked out on my front porch and just stood, listening to that glorious sound. Then I remembered all the days of complaining about being wet, hating to go to work, trodding through puddles...

We all die. This is fact, we can count on that if nothing else. So, move on. What do we do with life?
Do we do all that we can to make sure that every soul we encounter lives the best "life" they can, or do we go to war, scream "TERROR" in the na...

I went to my high school reunion last night. Was no big bash, but was great to see the gang again.
I graduated from the next to the last class of a small HS with only 47 members. Twenty-two of us showed up -- eight are dead! Five died with cancer...

Daddy's Leg

My father was always this big, burly man, with the underbelly of a teddybear.
His voice was deep, and could evoke fear in anyone, if he so wished. Yet, he had a kindness that ran deep, something he did his best to hide.
I did not realize this fo...
