Mom

I find myself sitting at my desk crying at the moment...moved to tears by the pain of a dear friend, who lost his mother a few days ago. She was about the same age as my own parents. I've been incredibly lucky to still have both of my parents at 83 and 81, who celebrated their 60th anniversary 2 days ago, and who are both doing well.

My friend David, one of the sweetest guys I know in the world, wasn't so lucky. Although I didn't know his mother personally, I know the results of part of her work in this world, in the form of her son. He always has a smile on his face and a kind word for people, and he gives an incredible amount of time and energy to anything he gets involved in. He handles responsibilities well, without letting it affect the way he treats people he has to deal with to do it. He has a great sense of humor and a great outlook on life. And he's been very good to me in many many ways.

From that, I know that his mother did a heck of a lot of things right in this world. I know he is hurting and is really going to miss her and my heart goes out to you David. If there's any way I can help....
