R.I.P.

Three years ago, my brother-in-law, Paul, committed suicide. Our relationship was rocky, to say the least. But the number one response in this entry was for him. They say hind-sight is 20/20, and losing Paul taught me to try to see things as they come instead of regretting judgments or inaction later.

So for I post this for you, Paul, and for those you left behind. I know I'll see you again, but I hope you down some Guinness and laugh at the absurdity of this earthly ride until then...

A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last.


"I answer the heroic question "Death, where is they sting?" with
"It is here in my heart and mind and memories." --Maya Angelou
