    There is nothing that makes you think more about your own mortality than when someone you know passes away.

    Heartaches and Bad Tastes

    My heart has ached so much for the people in the beautiful state of Florida, the great state of Texas and all others affected by the hurricanes. My heart also goes out to all of those that are affected by the wildfires out in the west. But even more so, my heart grieves over some…
