In the midst of the...

Another funeral. And I wanted to stand up and clap. The eulogy for Richard “Dick” Sadd wasn’t sad at all. The fact that he will be missed by so many far beyond his large family is sad. The way he lived his life is worthy of applause. This morning can we please talk about why we wait until Good people are dead before we pull out all the stops to celebrate how they lived? Why *then* is the best time...

Station after well thought out station of all of Collin favorites like Skittles, of course. The bottomless bowl of Swedish Fish sat at the display with Collin’s fishing pole and all the pictures of him reeling them in....

She shows up (most recently) in the mailboxes of 12 THOUSAND mostly strangers who could use a bit of love. Handmade cards from a heart gold. That’s Nancy Mino’s trademark. I know, because I keep finding cards she sent to my mamma in memory care for a year before my mamma passed away. The hands and feet of Christ for the cost of a stamp. Turns out she’s a cancer warrior who works 2 jobs as well. De...
