      • Powerfully penned, Keith. What Mary said, sometimes making things right is comforting. Especially on a deathbed. For some reason when I read this I could hear, Robert Stack, narrating it. Like an Unsolved Mysteries episode. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.

      • I have Robert Stack on my GPS giving me directions. It reminds me of “Airplane”. I’m kidding.

        You have just blown my mind with this piece, and there’s nothing insane about it. For once, it’s a vision of sanity, and I think everyone is on board with the beauty of forgiveness. It’s odd how death and finality have a way of changing our perspectives so abruptly. Setting things right can be so important. How fortunate were these two for having a middleman that kept them in touch.

        Keith is it? I’m Meg. Thanks for that story!

        • Airplane rules!! Every now & then I’ll write something tender. I don’t want all of you to think i’m some raging lunatic. I just write whatever comes to mind.
          Absolutely right. Let’s not wait until someone is dying to make amends. Be kind and humble to one another.
          Thanks Meg.xo

      • Hello Adira. Glad you enjoyed this piece. Thank you for the gracious comments.

      • This was touching. Made me think of my last visit to my mother who was on hospice with breast cancer. She was barely able to open her eyes to see me, then she was able to make a smile, the last smile I ever saw from her. Cancer took her but couldn’t kill her sweet soul. Bravo 👏

        • Hi Daniel. Thanks for sharing your story. Sorry to hear about your mom. Life is fragile. Make the best with your loved ones before we all depart. Thanks for the comments.

      • Death brings either the sweetest or the meanest in human beings. In this case, it was love. A heartbreaking and heartwarming write. Both at the same time. Well done, buddy!

      • Happens more than most would think. Powerfully penned, Keith. Great spill my friend. Appreciate you.

      • Thank you Adira. Reality is painful for most. Appreciate the feedback!

      • Can actually relate to this. Sadly. I feel my fiance and I no longer really love each other, not even any attraction exists. While I was reading your piece here, I felt my creative, poetic juices flowing and if I dont have any more purpose with her, then poetry and story writing will become my purpose in life. You write a simple piece, yet totally thought provoking. Bravo!

        • Thanks man. I keep my writing simple, always. Many relationships go sour. It’s a very difficult thing to stay loyal and happy with that one person for the rest of your life. Stay creative Daniel. Wish you the best with your relationship.

    • Senseless Violence

      About 15 years ago I was watching the local news. One of the main stories was of a young man aged 20 being murdered. Not by a criminal, or his friends, but by the police.The boy who had mental...

      • Powerfully penned, Keith. This is a sad one my friend. Pulls at these old heartstrings. Unfortunately, you’re completely right this happens far too often. 9 shots 5 cops. Somebody shot more than once. Powerful message brother. Appreciate you.
