A Sad Evening


After a brief illness, my dear friend Marty-Marr lost his mother today. She was 87 years old and very blessed to have stayed active and healthy until not so long ago.

No matter how old you are, you're never ready to lose your mother. I still remember the night my mother died, and I came home and started walking around the neighborhood. I remember that sadness, and that feeling of being very alone. More alone than I'd ever felt in my life. Because no matter what differences you've had throughout the years, no matter what transpires, deep down you always know your mother has your back. When she's gone, you really realize you're on your own in this world.

Love you Marty-Marr, and I'm holding your close in my heart right now.
