I will never forget the sweet smell of the earth on the day we laid you in the ground
Or how damp it felt, as it fell away, crumbling between my fingers
The crisp cutting sound the shovel made in the dirt, as we lovingly lowered you down
I can still taste the warm, salty tears on my lips, as they fell from my eyes, gently lingering
Now to see you again, I simply close my eyes and let your dear memory wander. Until the day I will see you again and for eternity we will be together

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
