Hey, you never know, it could be. Maybe she could teach us all a thing or two about slowing down and appreciating this giant gift that is life and the world.

I'm glad you're feeling better, and you got quality time. Everyone has their own way of dealing with things and some people put on the stoic face. Doesn't make your way wrong, or theirs. Just how it goes. Me, I cry like mad. It's cleansing sometimes. So much so that I do it for fun.

It's tough to realize that resilient people don't live forever. Crying on my mom's "shoulder" last night felt great and then I realized I don't get to do that forever. Sucked, a lot. My hero just passed away a few years ago, and there was a photo in the book he wrote of him sitting on a horse, teaching a roping clinic on like his 92nd birthday. I think doing what you love keeps you going much longer.
