The everyday can just be heavy. The moment I get to come home to my wife and pets makes it all worth it. Great ink

Wait… Wait… Wait
Is this thing to scale?
Oh shit.
Okay, tell me to bend over again-

Sadly it’s not to scale
It’s not the size of the wand it’s the magic in it…so most men say
I do have quite a long tongue though.

Damn, Peter. I always forget to ask men ‘How long is your tongue?’ – but I’m so glad you offered that. Now, I’m all confused about where to sit.

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.

Robert Stack & Unsolved Mysteries is one of my all time favorite shows. I have a DVD box set of U.M. Thanks Damian for the read & comments.

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

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 👏

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!
