I pour a sip on the concrete for the deceased.

In this time of transition I have to symbolically say goodbye to some people that have died or that have gone from my life. This is my sip on the concrete for them: to let them know that I will always think of them, that I was happy to have known them and that I’m happy to be going on with my life.
First: To Snowy and Whisky Fadel, two of the greatest dogs in the world. I miss you both and you were a part of this family and you will always be remembered.
Second: To Kasey Ross, I know that you were as good to my cousins as Snowy was to me.
Third: To R.G. a good friend who always had a lot to say. I know that I will miss you for your views on life. I know that I will miss your rant always and if we meet again I know that I can greet you with a smile.
Fourth: To T, to S, to K, to N: beyond anything else… you were good friends. And I loved to laugh with you. And I will continue to think about the good times and hold those as golden. I will never forget the lip-synch, the basement, dressing up like gangsters or the trip to the zoo.
And a special tribute to Square One: my home away from home for 5 years. I will miss that mall and that job… but it’s the good times that I will remember: the friends, the chance to learn about who I am.
Today, I bury these people and things not to say that they didn’t mean anything… but to say that they meant so much and that they always will. But there is no anger and there is no sadness. There is only joy that I knew such wonderful people and things in my life. And that I was able to grow because of them.
Another lesson learned. Another sun-down and sun-up. Another reminder that life is worth living. Never be scared of what life has to offer. Never be scared of the tomorrow because tomorrow is soon to become today.


Toodles.
