I saw a homeless man
biking an older woman
around in a baby carrier
and it made me think
of you
And how you carried us –
no matter your strength
and despite our inability
to contribute…
You never complained.
You just carried us.
Forward
Farther
On and on …
I loved that about you.
And I miss you. And your
strength.
Below is one of three episodes that aired on TV after he died. I finally watched them again in over 8 years this past Christmas with Jessica who wanted to hear what his laugh sounded like.

Don’t watch it if being comfortable in your life is all you ever want out of it. Don’t watch it if you think your lukewarm marriage is just fine. Don’t watch it if you reserve the name “God” for reference when you’re surprised. He was just a man and he’s gone, but the gift of his love saved me then and all these years later – it keeps saving me.
