loss

i lost a great friend the other day....

because the family is so private about burial services i wasn't allowed at the grave site.  this is how i will grieve.

i knew moe for fifty-three years...almost a lifetime by most reckoning.  she was nearly a mother to me - congratulating me when i did right and raising hell when i did wrong.  she taught me to love family - i had none to speak of - and when her husband, booby, tried to shake me off she interceded on my behalf.  she embraced me at life's every turn...even as she lay dying she asked for my grandchildren.

i will never forget you moe...acid tongue, drinks at the beach, shooting at longlands, always love and affection, lessons in life, life itself.  bless you and goodnight.  love forever....
