We live.
We die.
We watch those we love die.
We see death everywhere.
We are not a culture of violence.
We are a culture of death.
I see people memorializing their loved ones on
the back of pick up truck windows,
on t-shirts,
crosses on the side of the roads.
I am sick of people showing how much they "care" by drawing attention to themselves,
either in word or deed.
A friend of mine passed recently.
I don't do funerals.
I left a heartfelt note on the door for his daughter.
I told her what a good man her father was.
I wrote of instances, that showed the good in him as he interacted with others.
Children, even grown may not know the impact of their parent in other peoples lives.
I did not leave my name.
True grief is quiet.
True sorrow wrings the soul mute.
Silence is somber.

Now on a much lighter note,
I want to wish everyone
a very Merry Christmas
and a peaceful and prosperous
New Year!
And if this video doesn't lift your soul....
Well,
tell Ebenezer I said hi, you Grinch!
Love and Hugs for Christmas!
